Imagine if people actually had access to this physical therapy? We could actually see improvement... As opposed to 10 people in a study that we will never hear about again. So frustrating.
It definitely works! Train facilities and physical therapists on it and let's get people working at it.Comment

Regarding the first post about the research done at the University of Washington, I found a podcast from their spinal cord injury group (Northwest Regional Spinal Cord Injury System). There is an interview with the researcher and an interview with one of the study participants.
If you go to this page: http://sci.washington.edu/podcast/index.asp they are podcasts #3 and #7. That is their website but you could probably get it anywhere you listen to podcasts. It is called the "SCI Forum".

Stimulating research could be moving for people with spinal cord injuries
Using physical therapy combined with a noninvasive method of stimulating nerve cells in the spinal cord, University of Washington researchers helped six Seattle area participants regain some hand and arm mobility. That increased mobility lasted at least three to six months after treatment had ended.
