There are different degrees of paralysis that occur after the spinal cord has been injured. Sometimes it is compressed by bone and when the pressure is released they get back total function of their limbs. In the case of Christopher Reeves, his spinal cord was severed and had a gap between the two ends. There is nobody that to this day had recovered fully from such a trauma. Hopefully someday there will be a cure for it, but as of right now, they are still working on it.
