This is amazing!!!Will this technology be able to be used in the case of existing quadriplegics? Or would the treatment only work for those recently paralyzed? Woah! This is amazing!!!

Will this technology be able to be used in the case of existing quadriplegics? Or would the treatment only work for those recently paralyzed?

The monkeys were easily able to adapt to the bypass arrangement and begin using their paralyzed wrists to play a video game. Full realization of a functional neuromotor prosthesis is 1-2 decades away from development, but the future of spinal cord injury certainly looks bright.
