I have a daughter who wears kafos. What kind of locks do you have on your braces?

[mapleclose]

Thank you so much for this

Nice job on getting up I only have one leg that gives me trouble after an accident, the leg only bends as far to sit comfortably.

I excercised the hell out of myself and got rid of the brace, and then it took me 2 years to dump the crutches, but getting up and down is still a chore, it looks stupid but works for me.

I do a spin like you do and use my good leg to push myself up, I keep myself as light as possible to make life easyer.

[spud1254]

God love you! I could never get myself up like that! I'd fall back down again!

Everyday things we used to take for granted are now looked upon as achievements, accomplishments. The strong DO survive, eh fellow kafo wearers! Great job!

[bracefanx]

[elfieears96]

wow does a leg brace hurt and how did u end up having to have 1

[jamesrarnold1968]

amazing what you've achieved. d'you sleep in your braces? guess not...but wondered whether / how you get around without them? good to see that. keep up the great work.

[mxmachines]

Nah I don't sleep in them, I put them on in morning like other people put on shoes. At night when I'm at home I'll take them off, sometimes just before bed and sometimes earlier. My only alternative to the leg braces is a wheelchair or crawling.

Since I live in a single floor rambler, without the leg braces on I just crawl on the floor. I'll post a video of that sometime soon. I actually learned how to crawl before I learned to walk, just like babies do :)

[jamesrarnold1968]

thanks. my good friend's a t5 para, guess the abs really help with all you do. d'you have any probs with pressure using the braces all the time?

[mxmachines]

I definitely have a few scars on my legs and feet from the leg braces. As long as they fit correctly that shouldn't happen though.

I know a T5 para who got rid of his wheelchair and uses leg braces. He posted a video on youtube called the "The Inward Warriors" that shows him, me, and another guy at the place we learned to walk.

[jamesrarnold1968]

hey cool video there. does he use braces all the time like you? seems easier if you've got some core / abs ... guessing that you do too. good to see more vids man of doing everyday stuff, transfers / getting up in the am etc... keep up the good work.

[mxmachines]

Yeah he uses leg braces full time, got rid of his wheelchair a couple years ago. And yes, the lower the injury the better of course.

that is a good idea to make a video of my morning routine- waking up, crawling around the house until I put leg braces on, etc

[bracefanx]

Wow, you are really impressive, I have learned so much from you. Great idea tho, would love to see what you suggest, the normal routine...... AMAZING, cheers

[gardenbill]

You are great! I am in a similar boat and Know that getting off the floor is a real pain, but can be done. Keep going strong!! Billy

You can check out my other videos to see more. If you want to see something specific, just ask (ex: how do you get in/out of your car?) and I'll see if I can post a video of it.
