Paraplegics learn to walk after years with the help of VR and exoskeletons

I wonder how expensive it would be to build a patch that someone who suffered from excessive tension in a certain muscle could stick on, say, their lower back which would detect the level of tension. Then, using a bluetooth connection and an iPhone game, they could train themselves to become better at consciously relaxing that muscle.

The bit about regaining bladder and bowel control is particularly interesting as this wasn't part of the thing the exoskeleton would have simulated.
