[@MRreptile13]

[@moniquekirby2900]

Name of the person who made these for you?

[@susanm7887]

Wow you’re truly inspiring. I need a second back surgery and depressed about it until I saw you. I hope you’re doing well because God knows you certainly are making more than the effort to do what most people take for granted. I pray you never give up and never take for granted the many talents you have just waiting to be discovered! Have a wonderful night and a spectacular day tomorrow!

[@MRreptile13]

Sorry to hear about you 2nd surgery. Surgeries suck! Thanks for watching. Hope you feel better!

[@Thursdayization]

Hey Jerry it feels good to see a fit guy like you wearing these braces. I wear braces myself... only on my left leg though cuz I had polio when I was young... I no longer feel like a freak..

[@sharonfloyd6288]

Amazing .... I bet it feels really good when you can stand up. I’m happy for you.

[@deborahvidal9939]

[@MRreptile13]

Deborah Vidal Thanks for watching!

[@RichardCheshire]

When it comes to the idea of walking, I always remember the words of albus dumbledore "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live". That being said, this looks like fun

[@GOK_333]

What a tremendous inspiration. Please, Can you share the process of getting them thanks.

[@luvaquad]

Cont.. sci many don't touch on our inability or train for back steps. So hard to do that. I pivot ..can't hop lol. This wears ya out..muscles will be mad a day or 2.. keep doing it.. wear em just to sit so its less foreign and less a stimulus. I was so happy to see this .. WCMX is great that ya do it.. this is a entirely different & awesome achievement on a grand scale !!

[@MRreptile13]

yea man. Thanks for watching!

[@derrickalford9756]

Awesome video man I'm waiting on my braces to come back very uplifting video I got injured 1-23-20. T12 Asia C so all this is still fairly new to me but looking to make new friends and gain as much knowledge and help as I can keep posting bro

[@yanelizvelez1510]

Wow verdaderamente Jerry tiene un gran testimonio...que Dios lo continue bendiciendo...Goooo Jerry... by.Yolanda Vilella de Rivera

[@bobshaw4063]

Jerry how did get injured ? Glad you got KAFO's instead of beng stuck in your wheelchair all the time . Cheers !!!

[@luxcaster5392]

Hey, thats looks really good. Does it work with crutches too?

[@ricoapilado6047]

I'm t11- t12 complete sci ..I always watch your video jerry and thank you its inspiring .you think i can use leg brace that you use ..? because I want to stand on my own

[@ij0511]

Well done in these early days I had kafos all my life thru polio Wouldn't exist without em Part of my life Good luck

Your such an inspiration! Never give up always believe in yourself! Absolute amazing :)! Xxx

[@DrJT-ly3vr]

Super cool... Great inspiration

[@paulathomas3819]

You are one tough S.O.B.! Thank God you have excellent upper body strength. Awesome....just awesome.

[@MRreptile13]

Lol thanks

[@tommyw8576]

I myself have Cerebral Palsy & Autism (Asperger's) & I am a legbracer. I wear steel/plastic AFO's on my legs.

[@luvaquad]

Well done Jerry. As a c4 quad using my Fillauer llc stance phase lock spl2 kafo's .. I get what this takes. My foot area was modified to remove stimulus and its easier to use a shoe with a bit of a heel .. extra size doesn't become a issue. My side metal area go into each side of my shoes. I noted what a pendulum does being yours doesn't have it. The force forward to unlock would put some down.. kafo differences can assist for those needing more safety. Going backwards I laughed.. our SCI ..

[@MRreptile13]

Thank you lisa. I seen you walk in your braces. So cool. Your awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@handihomo]

I admire how you stand up and walk with this braces§ I am also paraplegic. Can you walk with braces and crutches?

[@RUMble_AK49]

That's pretty dope. I'm a t11/12 complete you think I could use this being mostly flaccid at hips?. I'm almost 2years in a chair from surfing. Might have to go some place to get me in one.

[@angelo92264]

Great job pal I am incomplete spinal injury , braces are great but tiring

[@MRreptile13]

Yeah they can get tiring after walking around with them for a while. But it's good for you and consider it as a work out. Thanks for watching!

[@arieszodiac1113]

And looking at your wheel chair is like what am using can I also get these type to buy in Ghana

[@laurentcol978]

Congratulations, you're in good shape so you should try with crutches. Good luck in your ongoing and autonomy. Salvation of a French

[@nitaxoxoxox7876]

Have you looked into adaptive sports? Check out adaptive skiing, surfing, scuba diving, handcycling etc...

[@sarahdumont8461]

Hi!I will explain you my situation. My brother had a snowmobile accident in 2012. So, he now suffers an incomplete paraplegia T7. (Sorry for my bad English, I come from Quebec (Canada))Now, he is able to move his toes, a little bit to move his ankles and in a pool. Do you suffer of a complete paraplegia or an incomplete paraplegia? Are you still using the prosthesis? . I would be very happy if you answer to my questions. Have a nice day and thanks you very much

[@cockerham30]

I'm impressed you really did great walking. I used to wear afo's so I know what you are going through. Keep it up, get some camo kafos next time, might as well have some fun with it.

[@حموديياروحي-ي2م]

Very good 👏👏

[@rogerfrye3910]

Thanks for another great teaching video bro ! That's what's up ! I'm wanting to try a pair.

[@manoeldeusdeditdefariasfil7871]

Hi yes you could try stand up and walking using crutches.Rmbr you are sstrong,very strong.Tk you .Go ahead.

[@wearewhite7558]

You guy so awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[@MRreptile13]

@madsvh666 I don't consider myself paralyzed,because to be pararlyzed is to be imobile. and im far from that. but i've been using a wheelchair for 2 years.

[@tanyasweatland9244]

paralyzed does not automatically make you imobile

[@wmontero1971]

nice brace demo you tube. the KAFO braces do look good. the black plastic type

[@factssorealitsunbelievalbe6882]

Jerry Diaz - you are drop dead gorgeous!

[@prakharsarawagi7631]

While walking with these kafos, do we require to keep our pelvic a bit front from normal posture??

[@breezy277]

How do you get your legs to look normal do you use electrical stimulation?

[@RUMble_AK49]

Coo. Im moving to Denver ill have Craigs rehab get me some scripts for these. Big ups with all the videos.

[@endriutib9560]

Super Movie :) Could you say something about orthoses, are they good and whether it's for ordering? Regards :)

[@wendylinares3097]

Como se llaman y en donde se pueden comprar

[@tube01]

Jerry your videos are amazing thanks for posting all the help info.

[@MRreptile13]

Thanks for watching!

[@annabanana4325]

+tube01 hope you start walking soon :) xoxox praying for you.

[@MRreptile13]

Anna Nicole Vlogs I appreciate the thought. But I honestly don't care about walking anymore. I'm happy the way iam. Crazy but I've got a good life and wouldn't change it for the world.

[@naomimart1220]

Awesome video! I'd like to see more of you walking (:

[@reallodgeman]

I have a pair of those you should get the upright Walker also

[@angieduvall5128]

I’m in a wheelchair and I went to a place that makes Kafos. I was wondering if you can lift you leg straight up from a seated position?

[@Wavewolfaroha]

You have had these now 7 years since the video was made, and I'm wondering if you continue to use them. I put my shoes on with only ankle strap tightened, to avoid skin damage, then fix other straps from bottom up.. And I wear leggings for same reason. Your gait is amazingly good, but still hard on hips, isn't it?! Have you been able to put more weight on legs and less on arms with time? Weight bearing is great for maintaining bone strength, circulation, and facing your mate!

[@MRreptile13]

Wow yeah long time since this video. Thanks for watching. I don't have these same pair anymore, but I do have a another pair. I made a video on those. I don't use them as much as I should but when I do,I stand around an hour. At some point after "walking" around I'll lean on a wall and watch tv for a while. But my heals and feet start to hurt. Glad you are getting yours on!

[@briansmom13]

jerry you go man! that looks great .got to get those for my son hea a t5/6 ten yrs out . he would love that .have you checked out ken bryant on utube? were going there next week. the work he does is amazing! you too are amazing!

[@MrDrum4jc]

Hey man you may have said this already but what is your level of injury? I'm T8 and in the process now but they talking about RGO's instead of KAFO

[@lyna732]

hey can you stand using the kfo without holding that thing?

[@thiah1951]

Thanks for sharing this video, it is very inspiring! I do have a couple questions; I want to know does your body have to acclimate for the (strengthening) of the trunk, because I have lost muscle, balance and strength. Thanks again, Thiah Doherty

[@MRreptile13]

I'm not 100% sure what you meant. but as a t10 t11 para with strong spasms,it's fairly easy to stand and walk with these on. it doesn't require much balance if you're holding onto the walker. or leaning on a wall to just chill. Sitting back on your chair is the more difficult part. cuz you gotta unlock the leg braces and sit. takes some practice.

[@jamesbeck3941]

I have a KFO for my right leg and an AFO for my left, I don't really like them though but I can walk farther with them

[@vitarita87]

OMG! YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION! I am in rhe same braces you are in this video. I waslk wit a walker as welll so my question is how do I balance without the wheelchair/walker?

[@debrajames6316]

Minerals helps with healing the body. Minerals such as iron and zinc and magnesium. Moringa teas and droplets and powders are great for helping the body to heal and become stronger

[@tinacollins943]

Does it help you to stand

[@arieszodiac1113]

I get a question how did you own happen

[@desmondfranklin6211]

What’s your level of injury and are you a complete or incomplete?

[@debrajames6316]

Good question. Minerals helps with healing the body.

[@WSTACE1]

keep it up Jerry we need all the inspiration we can get. I'm also 5.11 T11-T12 incomplete. Living life to the fullest, taking no prisoners..... lol!

[@MRreptile13]

Thanks man. That's awesome! keep up the hard work. Thanks for watching!

[@craiggoodwin5515]

Whats ups Have not seen a new video a awhile

[@WhozOnfirst]

Can you explain as a t 10-11 incomplete where you can feel and not feel. Is it a dull feeling in certain areas and completely numb in others?

[@kmboopathi630]

Fantastic , could you please tell me where you brought this KFO , address please

[@MRreptile13]

Hi i have other videos talking about where i got theses but they are custom made. I got them in Orlando Florida. A place called ABC bracing and orthotics. Thank you for watching.

[@ConnyNordlicht]

These KFo's can help you when you are doing your shopping! You can stand up to g@ap somehing which is up and too high to get it when sitting! Great! I can stand up and go some steps, about 20 to 25. Then l need my chairwheel or a rollator for a few steps ore. I've 11 defect vertebral disks and my shoulders are "frozen shoulders" and l've fibromyalgia and a parcinson syndrome but no parcinson. These are the werst. I've ggt pain the whole day and niggths, too. But my Fentanyl helps to make it nevertheless. It's so hard to live with these every - moment and - move - hurts, but l love to live, really! And l wish that you are so kind and friendly all days! That's the right sight of life! Be blessed!

[@bezb4lyf06]

hope you can reply.can you feel your legs or move them??

[@heathbamford8536]

That’s sick. What level are you I’d guess like T10

[@lindamarconi4005]

Take care, Jerry.

[@marilynariza3671]

Hello Jerry, my boyfriend has become inspired with your video. Where can I buy the equipment for him? Watching from 🇲🇽

[@MRreptile13]

Hi,I'm pretty sure i explained where to get there from in the video. Please watch. Or look through my other videos.

[@marilynariza3671]

Yeah I can’t find the video where you mentioned where you got them from...this video you only mentioned Medicaid... but i been looking on google... thanks 😊

[@MRreptile13]

Aw man guess I didn't mention it here. I have in other videos. But you have to get a prescription from a dr for them. Then take it a place that makes braces and prosthetics.

[@MRreptile13]

And I just scrolled through my videos,it's the 25th video from the latest video I made. Scroll down and you'll see it.

[@marilynariza3671]

Jerry Diaz oh I see, I assumed you could just buy them. Thank you for all the information, I found a store here in Mexico to get them! 😊

[@MrRooXs]

Happy birthday for last week. I just got me some AFOs so good to get up out of the chair now and again
