This man couldn't walk.
His name's Gert-Jan and he's Dutch.
He had an accident years ago.
He was on a bicycle.
He broke his neck.
After that, he couldn't move his legs.
Scientists from Switzerland and France used special technology.
It sends messages between Gert-Jan's brain and legs.
Now he can walk.
First, Gert-Jan thinks about moving his legs.
His brain then tells his legs.
It uses the technology.
That makes his leg muscles work.
Now Gert-Jan can stand and walk.
He can even climb stairs.
But learning wasn't easy for him.
Gert-Jan needed lots of training.
It took months.
But scientists are surprised.
Now, Gert-Jan can do so many things.
Doctors first told Gert-Jan he wouldn't walk again.
But he never stopped hoping.
Scientists are excited.
They have new plans now.
They want to help other people like Gert-Jan.
