2 . Listen to the information twice.
It is acknowledged that if your spinal cord is broken, you will never walk again. Your brain can no longer tell your legs what to do.
Yet at the annual conference of the National Neurotrauma Society in Los Angeles, in 1992, Susan Harkema of the University of California described how 7 of her patients, whose spinal cord had been completely broken were able to relearn the rudiments of walking.
Dr. Harkema and her colleagues have shown that all that is needed is an appropriate training. They have developed a technique, which enables patients to perform certain stepping motions. People who lost all feelings in their bodies from the waist down and control over their lower limbs learn how to regain walking.
Dr. Harkema and her team achieved good results by suspending patients over the treadmill in bands resembling a parachute. A trainer helped the patient to perform legs movements, placing his foot on the treadmill step by step.
Over the course of a few months all 7 patients developed the rudiments of walking. Although they were still unable to balance properly, they were able to bear more of their own weight themselves. In other words, their spinal cord had learnt to recognize nerve signals coming from their leg muscles. With practice, Dr. Harkema believes, it is possible that patients could regain partial voluntary control over their lower limbs. With luck, life may now improve for this particular group of the halt and the lame.
3. Choose the most appropriate heading to the text, which corresponds to its content the best:
New rehabilitation methods of American scientists.
Rehabilitation on a treadmill.
New approach in spinal-cord rehabilitation.
Helping the halt and the lame.
4. Are these statements true (t) or false (f)? Justify your choice.
Dr. Harkema suggested her team developed a special method of rehabilitation for paralyzed patients.
People, whose spinal cord has been broken loose feelings and control over their bodies.
Over the course of special training on a treadmill all 7 patients developed full control over their lower limbs.
Dr. Harkema suggested her patients to perform some leaping and squatting exercises to regain walking abilities.
Through the course of rehabilitation programme the patient’s spinal cord gradually learns to recognize nerve signals coming from his leg muscles.
