it in. >> reporter: it's called music therapy. many people never see how it or much of the technology, big or small in this building, actually works. so i will show you. if i, like congresswoman giffords, were a patient of this team. it seems like a pretty long day. >> it is a long day. after a brain injury or a stroke there is a tendency for the patient to forget one side of the body. >> reporter: just neglect it? >> neglect it. >> reporter: this bike doesn't let you forget. these cords attach to the muscles in my leg and as my leg is moving it's predicting which muscle should be using and it's giving that muscle stimulations. they call this the superman device, learning to walk without the burden of my body weight. surprisingly this shopping cart is also used as part of therapy. take a look here, obviously julie helping, for example, if i had right leg weakness, really sort of moving my leg along,
signal to your leg to lift the leg. if it's not working properly, they were giving electrical shocks in my leg when my leg was supposed to move in a certain direction sending a signal back to my brain so it's sort of creating a two-way circuit. >> dr. sanjay gupta can do everything. >> i love this stuff. i was fascinated by it. >> and that's why you do it. the question is, what's next for her and her recovery? >> she is making -- people use the word remarkable. i think it's fair to say given where she's come already, now it's a lot about occupational therapy. being able to brush your teeth, feed yourself with a spoon, dress yourself, those types of things. that's what you need to do to function in everyday life. also the future of physical rehab is here. i was there when they were using robots, a few images there, that's brand-new technology that increases mobility and strength. i'm playing a video game which
what's next, mike? >> i think the assembly may take up this issue. there are probably enough to deal with it, but at this point they don't have enough for a kwa rum. the 14 democratic senators remain out of state and essentially untouchable. troopers have gone out to at least one senator's home in the madison area to see if he's around. they can't arrest him and drag him back. they can compel him to return to senate chambers. my guess is there are a lot of phone calls behind the scenes. communication between republican senators, the leadership there and democratic senators trying to come up with a point of negotiation that might entice or intrigue democrats to return and discuss the matter. >> the longest serving anchor in milwaukee. very impressive, sir. you look really young, too.
knowledge of what the treatments are. most doctors don't have the time to look up all the things they need to look up. so watson in its current form actually can supply doctors with with answers to their questions that they formulated during the day and with those answers can improve their diagnostic outcomes and their treatment outcomes as well. >> okay. so do you just put in the patient's information and it draws it from a medical bank, data from somewhere? >> watson has access to information in all sorts of capacities and shapes and the doctors can give the clues much like the "jeopardy!" includes. some fever, rash, weight loss and watson takes the clues and provides the evidence for one diagnosis over the other. >> the electroncal medical record is just the beginning. watson will break it down, look at it from different dimensions, parity history, family history.
