Subject: [QUAD-L] Regarding back from California

 

They told me I wouldn't be functional at C4/5 with the braces like you'll
see in the films.  You have to be C7 or lower.  But they told me of a gal
that was a C4/5 that used them to walk down the aisle with a walker on her
wedding day.  Someone would have to put them on, help me into a standing
position with a walker, Velcro my hands to the walker and I would learn to
throw my hip and pick up the walker to move forward.  Hard for me to believe
I could do this at my level because right now I have no trunk support.  For
a paraplegic the brace is at the waist, for a quad they brace you at the
chest level.
