- Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) spinal-cord stimulators implanted into the backs of three paraplegic patients helped them wiggle their toes and ankles, flex their legs and even stand independently for moments at a time.
- The treatment worked in two patients who were previously unable to move or feel their lower bodies.
- Researchers now intend to conduct a similar study with eight more patients, using a new device with more flexibility.
