corinne 's rehab at Dikul rehabilitation center in Poland 2

One further attempt to 'walk' as per Dikul's method. April 25th, 2008
important remark: I have a spinal cord injury level T10-T12 since 2001 (SCI which is as good as complete). I was able to walk with long leg braces already before this rehab with a walker or quadripodes, as a result of intensive training. The purpose of this rehab was to learn how to walk without long leg braces, ie locking my knees by myself. It remains difficult for me, still a lot of support from the physiotherapist is needed, but does not seem to be impossible (locking the knees occurs through mechanical effect of putting the hips forward, and is not a consequence of quadriceps muscles recuperation!).
this nevertheless represents a nice challenge and prospect. Never give up!
