This… is why I became a #neurosurgeon and what rehabilitative specialties love to do.

Source: ESPN. The key of spine surgery and rehabilitative efforts is collaborating with our patients to achieve functional independence in the presence and in the absence of any neurological recovery.

I look forward to further advances and applications of brain computer interface, spinal cord stimulation, neural prosthesis, exoskeletons, nerve transfers, and things we don’t know of yet… for assisting patients with spinal cord injuries.

We need to celebrate Physical therapy, occupational therapy, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and other great rehabilitative fields.
