Quadripegic Walking at Phyiscal Therapy - C5-C6 SCI

Getting my walk on at therapy! it’s the hardest task to accomplish physically and mentally. Just imagine trying to move your leg, but you see nothing. No matter how hard you try, nothing moves. At therapy, we walk anyways. As Andy, my PT, supports my hips and blocks a knee, we pull my opposite leg through together.

Abby's pretty but more important is her determination and tenacity! Thumbs up to Abby! I've watched a few of her other videos. Very much worth it.

[@OlekW]

Good luck from Poland! Train as much as possible, You are young.

[@williambayh1574]

PT's, in my experience, will put-out all they got when a patient tackles therapy like you! FES bike for six months and you might not need Andy to this extent - keep moving; so inspiring!

[@abby_marsh29]

I used FES bikes before, loved it.

@@abby_marsh29 Back in the late eighties, my wife and I moved to Middletown, OH to participate in a program called, 'Moving Again'. Nan Davis was the Administrator who had been the first sci (a high para) to walk using leg braces and FES technology (her college graduation and wedding). She pointed me to exploring LSU leg braces which eliminated the need for trunk control...I never escaped the parallel bars as Nan did with the use of a walker. She had the heart of a Lion and so do you!

That handshake is awesome! Haha

[@ashleydise2106]

I love it!!! You are amazing Abby :)

[@rudiseken9670]

Well. keep going abby god bless you

[@vishnuheerah3546]

How did you get injured? I’m a c7 quad and I got injured in a car accident. I’ve never walked in a walker before, you made it look so easy. You’re amazing.

[@leguylain]

Great courage and determination you have !! I think that i am fall in love !!☺☺😜

[@kevinjoshua4944]

The music and videos are Kool “that’s an old guy cool with a “K”

[@turret_sindrone]

Great video. Curious how you injured your cord. I too have a SCI at C5/C6 from a disc herniation. I got my neck fused at that level and my symptoms improved a ton up to a point. Walking fine, just takes more energy and sometimes it's hard to get started when I've been sitting, or laying awhile. My symptoms 2 years post op are mostly sensory, but still have good and bay days, nothing like what you've been through though.

[@doubloon4224]

Oh my gosh, you did it!!!!🎉

[@natfurtop]

I think you just brought the biggest smile to my face that I’ve had all day! A sincere thank you for sharing your journey!

[@alessandraserra9255]

thank you for this video... you are so good... the entire package!!!

[@stevengates4437]

You spine injury survivors are so cool to watch....remember to do deep breathing so you get lots of oxygen to that brain of yours....I wish I could inspire you even more....

[@abby_marsh29]

Lots of oxygen!

[@frankierepalda]

Hopefully you will regain your use of your legs and arms

Hi, you have spasms?

[@noraamatthews]

Can you do a video about spasms? Can you trigger them?

[@abby_marsh29]

Great idea!! I will keep that in mind as a video. In the meantime, you might enjoy my blog post about spasms inthewaitingblog.com/2019/10/04/muscle-spasms-help-my-independence/

[@milesneedham]

Hey Abby my name is Myles I am an incomplete quad. Talk texting has my first name spelled wrong but that's okay. I really love this video of you walking. I hope to be walking on my own within two years. I know that I will always have to have a walker or some other kind of support but I will be walking in two years. I have been a quad for 13 months now. I have good arm and leg mobility and your video is very inspiring. I know this video is a couple years old but I hope you are doing well and have your improved Beyond what this video shows. Best of luck to you and I'm going to watch more of your videos. The two things I hate the most are my hands clawing up and bowel program. If you have a chance please reply to this message and let me know how you are doing . Please excuse any typos due to talk texting not translating perfectly all the time. Keep On Keepin On!!!!

[@kevinrollman3101]

Just want to let her know that If she believes on what Christ did on the cross in that he paid the price for her sins and everyone’s sins so they wouldn’t have to pay for their sins with eternity in hell she will have a new eternal spiritual body like the one Jesus Christ rose from the dead with!! Just a matter of believing!! For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life!! John 3:16

[@notme751]

your quite incomplete of an injury

[@abby_marsh29]

I am not actually, I wish. if you notice, my hips, knees, foot placement, and core are being supported by the therapist or the walker

[@notme751]

@@abby_marsh29 Im c7 classic you are incomplete and that's a good thing but worlds apart in function

[@denisepaulsenful]

I am a C5/6 incomplete since 2011. I can even drive with normal pedal foot function but unfortunately we are not dealing with body strength here. The spinal chord is a nerve meaning it cannot be strengthened like a muscle. No matter how much exercise I do I will never walk again.

[@tallman4418]

please get rid of that LOUD!!! singer during the video....
