Race To Walk

Cameron stood up to the challenge!
Getting back on his feet after his spinal cord injury will help him circulate his blood, improve his respiration and increase lower extremity strength. Keep up the amazing work!!

We are going to miss Boo so much as she heads up to Louisville, KY for her new adventure!!! We wish you the absolute best as you break new boundaries in spinal cord research!!

Even during his winter break, Logan is crushing his workouts! While we may take standing and walking for granted, there is so much involved than you could imagine. Logan must focus on keeping his balance through hip and core control, while concentrating on using his back and shoulders to keep his upper body stabilized. He is also focusing on the sensory input through his feet in order to gain connection to his muscles below his waist. This is no easy feat and Logan was able to stand for significant amounts of time without using his hands to balance! He will be working hard during his break to continue improving.

Join some awesome people at Sugar Creek Brewing tomorrow, December 3rd from 6:00-8:00pm for a fun chance to meet new people and have a great time!

Josh has made fantastic improvement on his posture!! His muscles, joints, and skeleton have been working hard together to hold himself upright and maintain proper balance!

Hannah's amazing devotion today was focused on her cardio, weight-bearing, and simulating a normal gait pattern. The repetition gained through treadmill walking is used to promote neuroplasticity. (The action of re-educating existing neural pathways or creating new ones)

Thanks Scott Liesch for coming by and allowing our clients to demo a standing wheelchair! The Standing Company has great options for all individuals affected by paralysis. Scott has been using his chair for 8 years now and he loves being able to stand whenever and wherever he wants! Being able to get on your feet more often will help with bone health, circulation and relieve pressure. Email him at [email protected] or check them out at www.thestandingcompany.com.

Today we have Matt weight-bearing with great posture on our tilt table. Matt's goal is to be able to get out of his wheelchair and stand straight without losing form. Keep up the hard work Matt, you are doing great!
