"This system builds a signal bridge between the brain and the peripheral nerves," said Zhang Xin, head of the department of neurological rehabilitation at Zhongnan Hospital. "It turns patients from passive recipients of rehabilitation into initiators. They can sense in real time how the brain and muscles work together and see their strength gradually return," the Changjiang Daily reported.

Compared with traditional rehabilitation, Zhang said, recovery time has been cut by more than half.

The company said that the system was initially introduced clinically at Zhongnan Hospital in May. Since then, nearly 10 patients have undergone treatment there, mainly those with hemiplegia, spinal cord injuries and postoperative neurological dysfunction.

That's pretty cool. I think of two living people I know who could walk again, if they had access. And two who have passed.

It's amazing what a country can do when the focus is on actually making the lives of the people better rather than war and plunder.

I really need to find and appraise reading material on socialist psychology. In the West, "criminally insane," would only apply if they have diminished capacity to apprehend if their actions are wrong, and I'm really honestly wrestling with that question.

This is just pure evil and very much done with intent.

It is just really hard to get one's head around people who know what they are doing is pure evil, and not only doing it anyway, but also reveling in it.
