  Severe spinal cord injuries usually lead to total loss of control of lower extremities, as well as bladder, bowel and sexual functions. But scientists at the University of Louisville, Kentucky, say an implanted electrical device is helping the patients regain at least some of that control.

  A dirt bike accident five years ago left Ken Stephenson paralyzed from the chest down. Doctors told him that he would never be able to stand up again.

  They said, based on what theyve diagnosed and how I broke my back and everything, that I wouldnt be able to move my legs again or feel anything ever again, said Stephenson.

  Another blow to the young man was the loss of sexual function.

  Now, however, thanks to a small device implanted in his back that electrically stimulates his spinal cord, Stephenson has regained some ability to enjoy activities he thought were left behind forever.

  Dr. Roderic Pettigrew, of the National Institutes of Health, explained, The goal was to modulate those damaged nerves in the spinal cord so that they once again could, would, become receptive to stimuli.

  The stimulator is turned on with a remote control and allows Stephenson to move one leg at the time. Other functions improved, too.
