A 22 year old male Louisiana State Policeman was involved in a motor vehicular accident on Feb.. 15, 2003. A metal pole pierced his skull on the right side. He underwent a craniectomy of his right frontal, temporal, and parietal areas. His prognosis was not good. He was told that he would never regain the physical capacity to walk or drive a car. He was also told that he would not be able to go back to college due to his lack of speech, cognitive, associative and memory skills. The patient was informed that the dysfunctions that remain one year post injury would be permanent.

The patient is now a College Graduate from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with a degree in Industrial Engineering, graduating with a higher GPA than before his injury. The patient now walks with a near normal gait with proper heal strike. He no longer uses a Cane, Brace or Wheelchair. He still has difficulty bending his left knee on initiating his step. Patient can perform over 20 lunges alternating legs. He can also perform over 30 squats. Although the patient may delay to answer when asked questions, his speech, cognitive, associative and memory skills have returned to normal function. The patient recovered his vision in the upper and lower left quadrants. And he has received a State drivers license. The patient can lift his left hand over his head. He has ability to flex and extend his elbow. He can partially flex and extend his wrist. His left hand remains contracted at this time. With continued care the patient is expected to live life independent of caregivers and with minimal disability.
