You’re the strongest and coolest person ever! You don’t now what a big inspiration you are, even though I can’t relate to your specific situation. Your mentality and how you approach your hardships is very inspiring. Wish you all the best in life, keep up the amazing work!
Priority of being able to walk really depends on the person, for a lot of people like yourself after the reality of the injury sets in and you realize what you can adapt to in the wheel chair and most of the activities you like to do are still possible, then priorities change and you adapt. For others that have activities or passions in their life that require that recovery of mobility, the priorities never change, although realistic expectations do
God bless you girl, my girlfriend who recently passed lost her leg to diabetes and I saw how hard it was, so I have so much admiration for you, you are a brave woman
@Para tara, I don’t know you, But you have no idea of how much happy I am by seeing you improving so much!! I wish you the best!! I’m going to keep watching your videos and keep an eye on your recovery progression! I hope you have a very great day and I will always be cheering for you! I just followed you on IG! You have a new fan!! Thx for your time! Good luck!!! Bye
I'm walking by myself in my room nobody sees me doing it. My doctor pcp said i would never walk again. My right leg is still numb i can feel my toes though but it works i can bend it and everything Im going to show them when im able to walk without stumbling.... Im already walking about normally in about 2 months i just can't run im definitely not ready for that it feels weird to my tailbone..
I don't mean to be disrespectful. I am getting ready to be fitted for braces this week. I forget with ones. They are hoping that I will be able to walk some. I am not sure how I feel about it after six months I am used to my chair I get around go where I want and pretty much do what I want. The ideal of me standing again I have a lot of mixed amotsions.Sorry for any bad spelling Brain does not work right sometimes
I also wear kafo leg braces that are very thick and bulky around my foot and ankles. Billy shoes in there widest shoe weren’t even close to fitting over my braces. I finally had to ask my orthopedist to order me shoes. He ordered me Mt.Emey Apis Answer2 shoes that are made specifically for afo and kafo leg braces. Granted they are very “medical” looking velcro shoes but there the only shoes that I am able to wear with my kafo’s. I actually have a RUclips channel describing the different shoes I have found over the years that fit comfortably with my braces. Hope this helps!! Also don’t know if you know about kafo socks ?
We are currently in physical therapy in hopes of my teen son regaining his mobility due to a spinal tumor. What’s the difference in physiotherapy? We are willing to try different things
@@bossent.9575 I'm not a technical guy, Ive seen it in my cousin who had an accident and got paralyzed neck down! after couple of surgeries and a lot of physical therapy, he got control of his two hands, (1 hand completely, and another one around 70%, he cant move his fingers in that hand) he also got some improvements in his leg. sadly they stopped, had they not stopped and continued to do physical therapy after the accident, he might have gained control of his legs. what ever you do, do not stop, do not lose your hope. I hope your son does a full recovery. God bless you
@@bossent.9575physiotherapy is the same thing as physical therapy. Outside of the United States it is known as physiotherapy. I hope your son is doing well!
Well I’m pretty new to using leg braces so it’s still super hard and doesn’t look the best but it’s still exciting! I don’t have much sensation below my injury but I’d probably say over the past week I’ve actually gained more sensation in regard to my bladder and some other places. I’ll probably make some sort of other video explaining exactly what’s been going on 😂 I’m good thank you! I might be starting college in the fall!
@@ParaTara Sounds like you've been busy with improvements. That's always a great thing no matter what. Have you dealt with foot drop at all? School would be amazing for you of course as well!
@@marcus6186 yeah so it’s been busy around here! I don’t think I have foot drop and I’m not sure why so many are curious about it but when I’m walking with the braces, it holds my ankle in a 90 degree position so it doesn’t have the opportunity to drag 😂
I hear there is some places who developed technology to make people with disabilities able to walk again. Do u know some places. I’ve had a spinal cord injury too
@@mikeglanzer616 I’m sure they are haha! But the majority of the reason I like using my KAFOs is to strengthen my leg and core muscles, cardiovascular system, and prevent bone issues so personally leg braces work better for me!!
@@mikeglanzer616 yeah I have a standing frame but not an FES! Part of me feels like I would prefer an FES to a standing frame, but what do I know 😂 what I do know is that my standing frame is uncomfy!!
Cybernetic tech is coming. If they can build humanoid robots that walk around on their own, it will make leg braces that walk on their own at your command easier and cheaper to build. Until then... arms like Olympian. Stay movin'
Ideally doctors/surgeons would be able to repair the damage done to the spine, nerves sufficiently for at least basic mobility. Barring that a minimally invasive way to artificially reconnect nerves with electronics would be great.
You just slide the braces under your legs and strap them in! I don’t have the type where they slide into your shoe. I keep my shoes on and put the whole foot and shoe into the bottom of the brace
I'm just so happy you survived. You have such a wonderful personality and help so much by sharing
You’re the strongest and coolest person ever! You don’t now what a big inspiration you are, even though I can’t relate to your specific situation. Your mentality and how you approach your hardships is very inspiring. Wish you all the best in life, keep up the amazing work!
I had a T12 burst fracture. I think they fused 5 levels. I hope your doing well. Your a very strong person.

Are you disabled?
My dads also has a spinal chord injury. I remember watching him learn to walk again and seeing the struggle.

Hola Tara esperó te puedas recuperar pronto te mando un saludo desde Colombia 🇨🇴
Huge respect from Bangladesh🇧🇩
I would love an update on your situation 😊

You are young and just put your mind to reabilitating and I believe you will walk again on your own two feet
I hope there's a lot of hugs in your future !!!
Thank you for this informing video! You have really bright energy and you are so positive. All respects🤍
Is there a video where you discuss the nature of the accident you suffered? TY!
I never pray for anything but I pray for you.
Hope you are doing well sis!
I wonder how practical these are for MS.
I also wear kafo leg braces that are very thick and bulky around my foot and ankles. Billy shoes in there widest shoe weren’t even close to fitting over my braces.

Billy footwear is amazing
❤May God Bless You to be Healed soon ❤😊
do physiotherapy and never back down, Ive seen it to make wonders. hopefully with continues stimulation you'll get back on your feet again!

You should try Accupuncture it helps nerve damage and promotes healing
What’s the price range for these braces? Are they covered thru insurance or does your doctor have to give consent for your to try these braces ?
You definitely make those braces work for you! Cool vid. What is your sensation like from the knee down? Also how have you been?

I wander if there's a way doctors can bypass spinal card injurys.
Strong girl! ❤❤💪😃
Keep up the good work kiddo
I hear there is some places who developed technology to make people with disabilities able to walk again. Do u know some places. I’ve had a spinal cord injury too
You could try looking into clinical trials! There are also exoskeletons, though they aren’t that functionally useful tbh!
more power to u.
Much love 💕 and totally 👍 respect ✊ for you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 3:34
Aplausos. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Have u ever tried the E-legs?
Do you mean those robot legs??? Like they just do all the work for you and you walk with arm crutches?
@@ParaTara yes, their less tiring...
@@mikeglanzer616 I’m sure they are haha! But the majority of the reason I like using my KAFOs is to strengthen my leg and core muscles, cardiovascular system, and prevent bone issues so personally leg braces work better for me!!
@@ParaTara I use a fes bike once a week for strengthening my leg muscles, besides my standing frame
@@mikeglanzer616 yeah I have a standing frame but not an FES! Part of me feels like I would prefer an FES to a standing frame, but what do I know 😂 what I do know is that my standing frame is uncomfy!!
Your have such a wonderful 🎉🎉

Can you show How to put braces on?
You just slide the braces under your legs and strap them in! I don’t have the type where they slide into your shoe. I keep my shoes on and put the whole foot and shoe into the bottom of the brace
U are not a complete sci patient re check yur MRI
Nope! I am now an ASIA B sensory incomplete but I do have some movement.. my doc said it wasn’t enough movement for ASIA C tho
But complete injuries can still walk with HKAFOs to my knowledge
@@ParaTara yes iam also complete and I can walk with knee braces and walker its all about practice and physiotherapy
You're Incredibly gorgeous Tara... 💯🥰🤩🥰💯
