Researchers have been looking for ways to allow paraplegics to regain some function. Until now there has been little or no progress.
Recently some patients have been able to get some muscle control through implantation of electrical simulators in their back. After a few days they could move their limbs voluntarily!
This certainly is a long way from full function, or "Robocop" type prostheses, but is a very promising first "step".
