  • I wear the braces outside my pants because I only use them for exercise. It is too much work to put them inside and I don't care how it looks. I use a walker because my injury is at T4-5 and I don't have enough trunk stability to use crutches without a high risk of falling.

  • @dshopperz001 Your a joke mate

  • haha this is a joke. That's not walking, just hoping around. WHy would you wear long braces, that doesnt help at all. You can't even bend your legs!

  • The walk is awesome.. But the way he sits and gets up from the floor is unbeatable..

    How was he injured..

  • I'm paraplegic T4,5 since 5 years...m only able to stand with braces...but itz amazing 2 c u walking...I've tried...but could'nt shift an inch??

  • My ex-girlfriend is an L2 para--She could beat me, as well as quite a few other guys fairly often at arm wrestling--Because of her level of injury, she could walk with braces and crutches or a walker, but usually used her chair.

  • Hey I've been a chair-user for almost 10 years and you're absolutely right! Those of us who are pretty active tend to have better-than-average upper body strength. Most of my guy friends won't even think about arm wrestling me, and I've won more than a few drinks at the bar by beating men who don't seem to realize that pushing a chair all day is like a constant workout :)

  • I'm a T3 para but am getting trunk stability back, thankfully. I was discouraged by my PT and OT from using a walker with braces because it would hurt my shoulders. Have you noticed it taking a toll on your shoulder health?

  • Talk about strength! No one could win in a serious arm wrestle with him:) ! (Yes, it's a humorous comment, but one has to admit it's true!! )

  • where did you learn to do this?
