NEWS INTRO

---------------------

A paralyzed man is walking again after a team of Swiss doctors implanted electrodes in his spine to reactivate his muscles.

In 2017, Michel Roccati was in a motorcycle accident that left his lower body completely paralyzed. His spinal cord was completely severed.

 

But now he can walk, thanks to a breakthrough spinal cord implant.

 

The implant sends electrical pulses to his muscles, mimicking the action of the brain.

 

"I stand up, walk where I want to, I can walk the stairs - it's almost a normal life," Roccati said.

 

In other news, today is national pizza day
