8 years after his SCI, Billy Walks Again with KAFOs and the Gait Harness System

- Billy experienced a T 7/8 Asia A spinal cord injury in 2003, when he was just 22 years old. For the first 3 years post his injury he was so weak he could barely lift a gallon of milk in his hand. Billy has worked with STAR Rehab in Michigan over the past 5 years, working on rebuilding his strength and endurance. 8 years later, he is able to do a variety of strength training exercises, including wheelchair pull ups on pulleys, carrying 45 pound plates in his lap. Billy does strength training 5 days a week, 3 hours a day. Over the past 6 months, he has begun using the GHSII 5 days a week to get on his feet and walk again. You see him here adjusting and using his KAFOs, transferring into the Gait Harness System II from his wheelchair, walking laps, and then transferring out of the GHSII into his wheelchair. Billy and his therapy team have worked hard for his recovery, and he is determined to walk again independently.
