Justin
Justin was injured (C-3/4 SCI) for 13 years and had very little physical therapy during that time. He came to us in January of 2004 for therapy, at which time he needed physical assistance to sit on a mat table. He was not able to pedal a bike and could leg press about 30 lbs. He could come to standing with physical assistance and hold it with knees locked for about 5 seconds.
Through a rigorous therapy regimen, including use of some specialized exercise equipment, he was standing in a modified walker 10-15 seconds with stand by assistance only, and 20 minutes with minimal physical assistance. He can leg press 100 lbs., ride a recumbent bike at 20-30 RPM's for 10 minutes and sit on the edge of a mat table for 5 minutes with stand by assistance only.
