Breaking the Wall of Paraplegia: How Neuroscience Can Help Spine- and Brain-Injured Patients (Enhanced DVD)

Product Description:

The spinal cord is a delicate structure, and a spinal cord injury can result in partial or total paralysis. Until recently science said that there is no recovery from spinal cord injuries, but new research suggests that recovery might be possible after all. New experimental therapy conducted on rats and monkeys has resulted in nerve regeneration and an amazing recovery of movement---which could be life-changing for paralytics. This program, a lecture from the 2009 Falling Walls Conference by researcher Martin Schwab, explores how the therapy was discovered and how it works.
