So zero unable to walk, 20 completely independent.
The people we enrolled in the trial had very impaired mobility.
They were at the bottom end of the scale between one and six.
At the start of the trial, we defined a meaningful change would be two points on that scale.
And on average, everyone improved by about 2.5 points.
Probably not day to day, but it may mean they're able to walk to their bathroom at home.
It may mean they're able to get up and walk around the couch at home.
So small changes do have huge impacts on the people with spinal cord injury.
But what was interesting, we had a bunch of secondary outcomes, one being lower limb strength or motor output from their legs.
This didn't change.
In a true sense, they didn't show neurological recovery, but they were able to... So it was automatic in many ways.
It was almost like they were able to... Their muscles that they had already input to were conditioned.
They learnt to be able to use their body in a better way.
So there's lots of ways that people can improve their walking, not just by increasing strength.
So although it was not the result we hoped for, it's an important finding nonetheless.
And the findings and the results that we've got from this trial has taught us so much.
We are going on to do a larger clinical trial looking at a different form of stimulation in a different cohort of people with spinal cord injury.
So we don't see this as the end of the line for neurostimulation.
It's just the start in trying to understand this technique more and
to improve hopefully the lives of people with spinal cord injury.
