Stepping with no braces, just e-stim

The same day that Erin showed us she could take steps on her own with braces on her legs, she also showed us she could take steps without braces. She needed more help with this, but it was amazing to see. She had e-stim on her quadriceps to support the leg that was standing, but she would swing her other leg through (especially her left leg) using her own muscles. We have so much work to do, but her future is clear!
