A virtual reality and feedback training program developed by the Walk Again Project has successfully helped all seven of its participants to become partial paraplegic, rather than full paraplegic. By stimulating remaining spinal nerve fibres via visual and tactile feedback, the study has reported that since December 2014, participants have doubled their sensitivity in paralysed areas, with improvements still being made.
