Quadriplegic's Definition of a Quadriplegic

[@mrsdawna58]

Thank you for your videos. My niece who is now 12yrs. was injured in a serious car accident when she was 7yrs. She is a C2 incomplete quadriplegic and vent dependent. I am one of her caregivers.

[@755Tangerine]

I love how these young amazing people on youtube keep on sharing their stories, educate others on their conditions and show the world the real power of human resilience.

[@zackcollie3364]

Thank you

[@shannonhager9999]

I'm Shannon and I'm 41. I was born with an L4-L5 spinal defect. I had to wear leg braces when I was younger and I self-cath. I love your videos and your attitude!!!

[@angiegrumbine9010]

I had a basic rudimentary understand of quadriplegic BUT learned so much from your video. Thank you for the information and for your positivity!! Such an amazing man!

[@zackcollie3364]

Your welcome! Im happy you found this video informational!(:

[@makhloufbannoud644]

Man you're so amazing I have some minor problems in my life and I take life for granted you made me realize that I should be thankful for everything and i should accept every problem in my life because they shaped who I am. Thank you man much much love and respect 🖤

[@nicolestepp5825]

I am nurse for private duty c3/c4 partial and complete quads. I love the message you are sharing and the education you provide to help stimulate open minds.

[@gypsyqueen8476]

I agree, But I also want to add on how its amazing you've put yourself out there to work in this field : Your work is apprieciated, is all 👍

[@ntyrkind]

Wow. This is sooo interesting and educational. My dog Autumn is a paraplegic. She lost deep pain and was Grade 4, even after surgery. But she has come a long way after 3 years with manual stimulation, massages, acupuncture, laser therapy, water therapy and physical therapy. Our friend became quadriplegic two years ago from a motorcycle accident. I was really scared when my boyfriend broke his neck in a head-on collision. Thanks so much for sharing. You’re amazing!

[@glamourtimeglamsquad6805]

Great explanation! That exercise really demonstrates what it's like for someone who is paralyzed well! Thanks for showing us! Big hugs to you and Sedona!

[@polishtumbrl9685]

A lot of kisses and hugs from Poland!!! Nigdy się nie poddawaj (never give up)

[@avxce5777]

oo ktos z polski tutaj:)

[@itimk0]

I'm so glad I found this channel. Not only are you amazing at explaining the medical aspect, but its been so great getting to watch other aspects of your life. Most people don't want to talk about this sort of thing, so it's great that your story is out here.

[@chrissyfoley7361]

Hi Zack! This was a great explanation. I appreciate that. I'm a Type 1 Diabetic (for 50yrs). I love educating people on my disease. I really love your channel. :)

[@pookiebear364]

Great job Zack... C4/C5 incomplete myself. The ring finger explanation is AWESOME!!! Wont forget that one. Keep up the good work you do...it means a lot.

[@sanjuktaganguly4561]

You're really good at explaining things, I'm researching about spinal cord injury, but never got this feeling or had any idea how it feels when you're paralyzed, the ring finger test was great, thanks and you inspire lots of people, keep doing this and take care..

[@GabbyTTran]

Hello Zach, I’ve been watching your videos , for some time now, as a 21 year old college born with mild cerebral palsy, I do understand how hard it can be to live with a physical disability. But you are doing great! Stay strong .

[@onacorona2323]

I thank you for telling exactly what happened to you and the difference, a accidents can paralyze a person in mini a different way. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with all of us, it makes me grateful for what I have, and you are very humble and grateful young man 💞

[@hhhhh-bz5ue]

Zac, you are a warrior my friend. I wish I had your spirit. Keep chugging bud! Great video!

[@juramos6431]

Hi Zack, Nice to meet You, i'm Brazilian and i started to follow your history, you're amazing !

[@billbayh5179]

Great explanation of SCI, Zach! It's great to see you and some others care enough to share your experience as a quadriplegic and offer continued 'How to' with those in need!

[@troyleech9253]

Thank you for your courage, Zack. Your frank discussion and presentation of day-to-day life as a quadriplegic is incredibly educational. You are breaking down areas of simple ignorance that create barriers among people and prevent us from being open and accepting. Keep it up!

[@Antonio-pp4wb]

You are amazing bro never give Up💪💪

[@angief8597]

Purrfectly explained! Always an inspiration Zack! Love coming at ya!

[@masonx54]

Awesome explanation Zach! Keep spreading awareness for Spinal Cord Injuries! 👊🏼💥

[@zackcollie3364]

Thanks Mason! I will(:

[@friday1218]

Zack Collie I watch every video you post

[@isabellam.7055]

Awesome video! I always Wondered What it must feel like , the whole ring finger thing was an awesome thing for you to include in this explanation

[@cheifplayz5520]

You're really strong dude , both mentally and Physically. Seeing how you go about certain everyday things and how much effort it takes between you and your Mum is crazy but you keep pushing through which is great 👍 Your Mum is very supportive and caring and that's awesome 😀 Keep fighting man 👊❤

[@noitalien]

This kind of videos motivate me to keep going with my career :) I'm studying physical therapy and I just want to help people like you to get better and to have the best life possibly. Thank you so much! You have such a strong and beautiful soul, keep going and take care😊

[@The-s7d9t]

Great explanation Zack. It is so important to educate people that don't have idea what we can go through. I had a injury on level L. I wish you the best!

[@willlipscomb6425]

Thank you for being so positive. It makes me feel silly when I get frustrated that I can't do stuff that used to be so easy.

[@MrDeleon9999]

Great channels and videos brother... I'm a T8 myself.. Your a positive force in this world..Please never forget this... Thank you for all that you do...

[@bellaangus1213]

Thank you for always being such a inspiration to me. You have made me to want to live life not just merely existing. I don’t want this to be about me, but I would like to share s little bit about me. I have two dogs a Great Dane/Black Lab and a Husky/Pyrenees. I have systemic lupus and had a accident 12/4/16. I’m in no way paralyzed, but have had all these it patient procedures, the last one last Tuesday 8/21. I’m not able to have my discs fixed properly because of my Lupus. I’m going to start living my best life now. I am married and have the best husband. I’m 56 years old and have been married for 33 years. I have made him watch utube videos, yours included. You are my blessing and the fact that you have allowed us to peak into your world and to get to go on your journey is amazing. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m also watching your brother and hope to see your awesome girlfriend. I promise I ave never shared so much of my life, but it seemed important to me. Please tell your Mom I also think she’s awesome and her Love for her kids is wonderful. Looking forward to your next posting and Sedona has fans from my home in North Georgia. ♥️♥️♥️

[@SuperLolitaxoxo]

since I found you I see the world in a different way. thank you for sharing your life with us ❤

[@deniselancaster6888]

Thank you Zack & Sedona. Well explained and appreciated, and good to hear you're a public speaker as well. You've gained so much in confidence. Keep going Zack. You're doing great.

[@fatimagraciano322]

You have come a long way! I'm beyond proud of you!

[@germanmoran4473]

You r an inspiration for others and for me !!! U r so brave ! True hero 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@nicolasy3392]

Brilliant coverage thanks for sharing & raising awareness. I too have had a spinal cord injury that has given me permanent damage too. It helps that no matter what level of spinal injury we've unfortunately got, the important thing is we're still the same person inside. You make that clear through your video's & I admire that in you, keep up the great work 💖.

[@aprendizfeliz6069]

Aww Sedona :3. Honestly I was really confused about this topic, thanks for your explanation. I learned something new today. I wish you the best Zack and hope you can keep uploading more videos. Greetings from Colombia :)

[@BasicThugganomics5]

I’m a c4 complete with a ton of wrist function just no sensation passed my chest

[@BensDad2003]

Thank you for the video Zack! That was awesome of you to share with us. Take care and best wishes....

[@karabear8076]

💜💜💜💙💙💙 love you both. 😍😍🐾🐾 Thank you for sharing your story . Will continue to support you guys 💙💙💙💜💜💜

[@deirdrehunte139]

Wow this is the best explanation I heard. I now understand thank you cause you answered every question I wanted to know.

[@emmavidal4906]

I made the exercise that you said and I know what you mean, even though, I hope you can do things that you like. You are really an inspiration to the world! 🌍 Thank you for existing! 🙏

[@CarolineKugele.]

O M G I'm from Brazil and I found your channel by chance. I'm starting to study English, so I understood a little. I was born with cerebral palsy in the most serious degree technically, but thank God it only hit the motor part. So only my motor part was compromised. Today I use crutches to walk, but two years ago I had an extremely complex surgery and only in bed did I stay for two months, not counting the wheelchair time and physical therapy that I saw starting. Anyway ... I really loved your channel, without words.

[@latinjoejoe]

Thank you so much for ur videos !!! I’m so inspired ! I truly am !!

[@danielleelizaharpz]

Thank you so much. This helped me understand it all so much better.

[@ella-bt8hp]

I want to say how amazing I think you are. My son is disabled ♿ and I am always very interested in finding peoples stories who go through similar. Thank you for explaining all of this properly I was under the impression quadriplegic meant no movement below the neck. My son has totally different disabilities tho he has brain damage, and is blind non verbal. But he has mobility. I can't imagine how it must be like to not be angle to move. I've subscribed thanks for sharing x

[@Txnative7]

All the best to you, Zack! You're an awesome young man!

[@jonchaney]

Your dog is adorable.

[@AyoCoat]

am sorry to hear this, God is with you and he loves you. I pray that god continue to be with you and your family.

[@miasmom4601]

Your looking more and more comfortable in front of the camera w each new video. Keep it up 👍🏻

[@ChickenSaysBak]

Great explanation! I wish more people saw this so they could understand :D

[@AbleFamilyLife]

Great thorough explanation. Most people don’t really understand paralysis unless they have it happen to them.

[@allisongrussing3531]

Hey thx for the explication and I know how hard this is for you going through y’all that you have been through I hope you keep doing what your doing and living life to the fullest

[@bulgefan50]

Great explanation Zack, keep on spreading awareness

[@chronically_bqueenb]

I’m surprised people are not educated in this area! Zach you don’t have to explain but it’s good you do educate. Love ❤️ your vlogs

[@stjudeprayer7]

[@whitewatermelontea]

[@kathybrooks428]

You are doing good job staying possitve, we all have our good days and bad days, it's like learning a lesson in school like math you learning how to do it, no matter how hard you try or how many mistakes you do you keep at it until you get it. Thanks for sharing your video it's very inspiring to not give up. 👲

[@joanpotanko6351]

Thanks for explaining it to us Zack. I like your videos. Take care

[@kessmatalaat1865]

thank u for this intellectual video.again.love you .keep going.

[@ashleygonzalezrocha3705]

very good explanation im a c5 c6 Quadriplegic n i think you did a very good job

[@morgancalvi6675]

Incomplete quadriplegia means your spinal cord remained intact. Complete quadriplegia means your spinal cord was severed. I'm C4 incomplete and do have wrist function...as in 5:48, you do indeed have wrist function. As you said, each injury is different. Each vertebrate has 2 nerves, one is for motion and the other one is for mobility.

[@souixaan]

when i came out of my coma my brain forgot how to tell my arms and legs to move so i hink i have a pretty good understanding of how i feels. i'm so grateful i got movement bak but still from time to time my brain forgets to tell me to move/grip correctly so mobility is an issue and i now use a wheelchair while out for my safety. thank you for sharing with us

[@gladysfeliciano5268]

For everything you been through u look great

[@Dayna75]

Thanks for educating me about this! I had no idea. Also, your dog is so cute!❤

[@goodleftovers1268]

How long does it take you to edit and how often do you upload videos You should do a tour of what youOf your camera set up and what your desk looks like

[@RonCovenant]

I love you bro and have a huge amount of respect and admiration for you but this is the one video I couldn’t watch. Made me cry when you were talking about the parts of your body/arms that have no function. I didn’t....couldn’t make it passed that. I’m a writer. It’s the only thing I’m good at and I could not imagine not being able to do that but Like I said love you bro. All the respect in the world. It’s true what they say about hero’s. The don’t all wear capes.

[@SebastianWestin]

Man quadriplegic is hardcore, and You're rocking the fu*k outta it. Keep at it brother. I roll a luxuary complete paraplegia. Bless.

[@mitchelljack1590]

Hey man! I spend a lot of time at the beach and was just wondering if you have some advice to avoid something like that happening or was it more just bad luck? Big fan of yours! Love your videos

[@gypsyqueen8476]

I'm curious of such as well, 'Has me paranoid to go to the beach now, and everything hah..

[@brittanyolivas4869]

Zack your in my prayers 😍 Your so brave

[@dianeelaine]

My son just saw me watching this video and asked what it was about. I briefly told him your story and he seemed interested. I asked him if he wanted to learn about your condition and he said no. He said that he was only watching with me because you have a cool name! Lol.

[@daughterhope7307]

[@juancanizares9772]

u da man broder, very inspirational.

You are very inspiring and thank you for the explanation! I have not watched all of your videos, but do you swim?

[@gypsyqueen8476]

I wonder!

[@bartscave]

I've been an EMT/firefighter for 40 years and just became a C3-5 incomplete quadriplegic. I have some function and feeling, I can actually walk with a cane after intense physical therapy. I never knew a quadriplegic could be anything but 100% paralyzed. It basically means four of your limbs are affected by a spinal cord injury.

[@brandyhagler3138]

Zack I understand cuz my husband had neck surgery some feeling came back on the right side but I still have to hold him up to walk and do everything for him like wash him and so on.

[@BasicThugganomics5]

Love the vids man

[@goodleftovers1268]

First comment what editing software do you use do you edit your own videos and I love your all your videos
