Doctor's said there was only a 3% chance of her feeling below her neck & having those same motor skills she had when performing daily tasks independently; paralysis below shoulders

In a C-4 injury, the ability to speak may be impaired due to the important sensory information sent through the C-4 vertebra.

An injury to the C-5 can cause complete or some paralysis in the wrists, hands, trunks, and legs.

Virtual Reality can be used to regain partial function from paralysis. Patients control their digital movement by their thoughts. Stimulating these nerve signals helps reawaken damaged nerves.
