Amplify’d from www.medpagetoday.com
in the summer of 2006. A pitcher on the school's baseball team, he went out around midnight to get his gym bag out of his car when a hit-and-run driver jumped the curb, striking him and leaving him paralyzed with an injury to the spinal cord from C7-T1
Today Summers can stand for several minutes and move his legs, feet, and toes. He has regained some bladder control and sexual functioning, as well as the ability to regulate his body temperature through mechanisms such as perspiration.
These gains are the result of unprecedented treatment -- begun in December 2009 -- using electrical stimulation of the spinal cord.
