I think it's just a desire on the part of the writer to string the audience along, as, despite DC's protestations to the contrary, every book appears to be padded so as to be collectable in a standard trade. Thus, Babs seems clueless as to why she suddenly regained her mobility. The problem is not so much that we don't know any more about that than she does (though for some readers it is of paramount importance), but that we have no sense of where she stands in the timeline of the Batbooks, which don't seem to have been very much affected by the reboot. For example, Babs researches in a library in this issue. Not at home with her own resources, but also not in her office at the library. In fact, we learn more about the obligatory quirky roommate in this issue than we do the title character. (And WHY would Babs get a roommate after what happened in TKJ?! THE dumbest idea ever!)
