Stimulator for paralysis/NBC News
 
I am sure others saw this.....on the Today show and on NBC news tonight ---a story of 4 men in a three year study....they are paralyzed from the neck down....they have had a stimulator implanted that gives signals TO THE MUSCLES like the brain would
and it is working to everyone's amazement. moving their legs...controlled with a remote........ as they show it I recognize the "Medtronic My Stim" remote just like mine!!!

Well how about that
