A split-second decision while driving resulted in 21-year-old Kristopher (Kris) Boesen being involved in a car accident. After the vehicle he was driving fishtailed on a wet road, hit a tree, and then slammed into a telephone pole, Boesen lost consciousness.
Though Kris woke up alive in the hospital, he found himself paralyzed. Reportedly, his cervical spine suffered a traumatic injury from the crash. Both he and the car were "broken", and this reality was difficult to comprehend. Doctors told the young man's parents that he would likely be paralyzed from the neck down for life. However, they also informed them that Kris qualified for a clinical study that might help.
Thanks to Charles Liu, director of the USC Neurorestoration Center, and a group of physicians from the Keck Medical Center of USC, Kris has received mobility of his upper body. The group of doctors became the first in California to inject patients involved with the trial with an experimental treatment made from stem cells, and so far, the results – at least concerning Boesen – have been positive.
Liu explained:
"Typically, spinal cord injury patients undergo surgery that stabilizes the spine but generally does very little to restore motor or sensory function. With this study, we are testing a procedure that may improve neurological function, which could mean the difference between being permanently paralyzed and being able to use one's arms and hands. Restoring that level of function could significantly improve the daily lives of patients with severe spinal injuries."
