A paralysed man with a severed spinal cord has been able to walk again, thanks to an implant developed by a team of Swiss researchers.
It is the first time someone who has had a complete cut to their spinal cord has been able to walk freely.
The same technology has improved the health of another paralysed patient to the extent that he has been able to become a father.
The research has been published in the journal Nature Medicine.

I wish my paralyzed friend would not have taken her own life before she saw this she would have still been so young. I am always going to have a place in my heart for paralyzed people because of her. RIP Keli!
