  • I used to go to school with shelby :)

  • Oh neat... when and where did you go to school with her?

  • Hi,

    Looks like you're doing really well.Does the calliper support your leg or just your knee.I wore a kafo for 2 years when I was 19.

    Do you wear irons up both sides of your leg?

  • Hello Jenny,

    She really is doing quite well! She's even begun to walk without the brace! The calliper supports her leg as a whole.... somewhat acting like her knee and thigh muscle. There are sensors in the base of the brace that fits into her shoe. Those sensors trigger the brace to lock and release as needed. It basically runs the length of her leg, top to toe. Thanks for your comment!

  • Congrats! Dont ever give up! Good luck with your future may you run marathons!

  • She definitely plans to run again! She's making great progress.
