Dennis has been paralyzed from the waist down for 20 years: • Would nerve stimulation to his leg muscles allow Dennis to lift his leg? • Why or why not? • List one other way, besides direct nerve stimulation, that could help someone in Dennis' situation lift their leg.

Ans) Yes, direct nerve stimulation may allow Dennis to lift his leg slowly in the future. Ans) Direct nerve stimulation can provide paralyzed people to gain some movement, depending upon the body’s physiology and the degree of severity of paralysis. Timed electrical stimulation provides the neuronal impulse to set the nervous system in action arbitrary based upon a controlling mechanism. Ans) Psychotherapy and physiotherapy can help to regain some movement through addressing the psychological mindset and advocating exercises to restore muscular and neural functioning and rewiring of the brain. Regular exercises can help someone in Dennis’ situation to lift the leg to some extent (Physiotherapy for paralysis, 2015). Recent advances suggest the use of neural prosthetics also (Popular mechanics, 2022).
