@escgjki Wow...So is this a big improvement for him? Do you think he will be able to walk normally again?

[escgjki]

@InsultingDick He is taking a break from physical therapy. Progress is slow and we knew it would be. We are hoping that stem cell procedures will be allowed in the US and then I think we will see even better progress. The procedures I am talking about are the ones where they use the patient's own stem cells, NOT embryos. Many are going outside the US for stem cell procedures and seeing some progress. Can't wait!!!

Very informative video.

Metriks' FCE software allows the healthcare professional to objectively quantify and report on a person's functional abilities.

I saw your video and thought it was very informative. Have you ever thought of making your material into a course? There is a web site out there that will let you do just that. And you can make money as well. Check it out its called ToPointC.com.

I wrecked in motocross and shattered my left tib and both of my fibs on each leg. They said I culdnt walk again and 4 months later I'm going out for jogs. The power of determination is amazing. Keep up the hard work Josh.
