Successes thus far: a few paraplegics, one quadriplegic..
It seems about training the (very-complex) spinal cord 'brain' (as in.. muscle memory) and [my words] essentially employing a transceiver-device located externally on the skin, adjacent to the 'break'. (Ira's quip: how come it took so long (..to look at such a simple idea!?) ..explained not-quite convincingly as a matter of the very complexity of signals in the often-autonomous (aka: no big-brain needed) workings of the spinal cord enviro.
Point: though initial test subjects are few, this development seems to moi ~~ like the case of the One Woman found with rock-hard body (who got disoriented outside her house in sub-zero temps; she was resuscitated, recovered! etc. This was thought to be--with unwarranted 'Certainty'. Again.--IMPOSSIBLE (as all of us would nod heads in concurrence, back then.)
ie for anyone maimed via auto-crash, assholes-with-guns etc. this must be Manna from Cthulhu, at least. Lucky.. Lucky--maybe.. in some not-too-distant futchah.
