🧠 A Paralyzed Man Regains Hand Movement

(1)

A man who was paralyzed in a car crash four years ago has regained some use of his hands.
Surgeons at Washington University School of Medicine in the U.S. took healthy nerves from other parts of the man’s body and used them to rewire the nerves in his arm.

(2)

The 71-year-old man broke his neck in the accident and was left unable to walk.
Though he could still move his arms, he had lost the ability to grasp or hold things in either hand.
The university doctors said the pioneering surgery offered remarkable results.

(3)

The man received extensive therapy after the operation.
Considering the severity of his injury and the fact that 22 months had passed between his accident and the surgery, these results are remarkable.
