locomotive training the therapy that we're doing here has it has its roots of basic
science
there was some scientists who wanted to understand if the spinal cord contributes to the
control walking so we all think that after spinal cord injury the reason people can't
walk is there's a disconnect between the brain
the nerve signals the go down the spinal cord to the muscles "'cause" that's been
injured an interrupted and we all know after spinal cord injury people don't walk
so our assumption was that the spinal cord is just the telephone cable just the
conduit for information
what turns out the spinal cord is really
smart
and it's almost in it may be smart as the brain so the brain gets
information it listens to it reads it responds and integrates it generates an output
spinal cord can do the same thing and that's what the researchers found out when
they found that out they said
i wonder if anybody can use this information in rehabilitating people with spinal cord injuries
and the answers yes right emily to face rehab because i was looking for something
outside what we were currently doing with physical therapy in occupational therapy i did research
found it on internet actually subscribe to the re foundation and a set me a
eight handbook
and that's right part of doctor arc light and
and active airmen so i called we've got here in january and let three and
half months we can hear family has had exceptional care and has made remarkable strides
so through a long series of events researchers here is the global and really in
other parts of the world have developed this therapy it's predominantly been provided to adults
well several years ago we decided to do a study and happen to enroll a
child and had some
for nominal remarkable
results a child that had not blocked and sixteen months after an injury began to
take steps only after thirty sessions of look more train one mother said my child
was like a noodle when i came in here in a concert on its own
allen is again
the things that i've seen cape induce and we've been here are tremendously before we
got here in his wheelchair he had to wear strap any ad aware brace on
each of you wasn't able to hold up and real at the same time without
falling over
and since he's been here from control the so strong that he's able to go
without a brace without a strap because across this chance it's a slow process but
everything that and happening at like all the sudden another miraculous things happen here in
a word with the body of what you have and they
a body is not to stay and motion so the using the chat the melody
of the ground
and i completely when a thing
what happens in here
