Description: Assisted walking with a platform walker, no leg braces. The PT is doing almost all of the moving of my legs and most of the help in locking out the knees. Occasionally, when I have enough muscle spasticity I can get my knees to lock up on my own. I concentrate on shifting my weight from side to side and trying to get a hip turn to bring to allow the legs to come forward. Much more fatiguing that using the leg braces, but more satisfying.

SPINALpedia is a social mentoring network and video archive that allows the spinal cord injury community to motivate each other with the knowledge and triumphs gained from our individual experiences.
We envision a society where people with paralysis are no longer isolated and can return to being active members of the community. In order to realize that goal, we need to unite our community and find strength in the power of our experiences.
