Maybe re-introduce some neuroplasticity...
- reactordev 3y agoGiven the signal isn’t blocked by scar tissue on nerve endings, I see this happening. The brain is amazing. It can reroute. It can form new routes given stimulus and a need. I have no doubt that if the patients nerve endings are good and the eye was attached proper (sounds like it was) then it’s a matter of time before the brain reconnects the shutdown pathways. It takes some effort, some real effort, on the patients part though. Meditation. Visualizing the brain making the connections. Eating right. Exercising. And healing. Not guaranteed but the best environment is crucial to regain mobility/ability. This is coming from someone who has broken their back, their legs, arms, fingers, wrists, skull, and a few broken toes. Obviously not all at once. I have had 1 surgery, the rest I declined. The body knows itself. Don’t get in the way of it correcting itself. Just provide the best environment you can. You may not be able to reach your bum today, but you will.
