Neurology Now ( free sub) has an article on TM in its Oct/Nov 2011
issue focusing on Allen Rucker.
Kevin Sorbo is on the cover.
I was glad to see the coverage!
I was surprised at the picture of Rucker. I've told my friends who
send me vids about a "tell" , that I use to assess whether the person
is in the same state as I am: crossed legs. I can't move my legs, I
am paralyzed, I tell them. So when tehy asks why or whether I can do
such and such I point out to them that the guy who just got out the
car from his wheel chair crossed his legs at the ankle, for example.
My legs splay, flop and gap and my feet don't always stay on the
foot rests. Which makes for danger if i don't notice, as more than
once, I've rolled on with an ankle stuck in a doorway.
So it was a bit disconcerting to see this guy with his legs crossed,
thigh over thigh, like a walker, posed in his wheelchair. That's a
thousand percent more motion and control than I have.
