I remember that news interview from a little while ago where she said her long-term goal was to find a way to walk across the stage at graduation. If she's already getting to use an exoskeleton just six months after her accident, I know she'll find a way to make her goal a reality!
my oldest sister was paralyzed in a car accident. she passed away a while ago, but it’s so cool and heartwarming following you now and seeing all of the advancements they’ve made for people who are paralyzed
Hey I am 34 years old man going through accident and hard times (not as bad as yours) and your attitude is giving me courage to keep forward. Thank you, you are brave young woman.
I can't stop crying 😢... regardless of "what" was actually controlling the movements... YOU were standing... YOUR legs were moving... YOU WERE WALKING!!! Might not have been 100% on you own, but that's STILL A WIN!!! 💕
I work in rehabilitation research and we use this robotic exoskeleton everyday! It is so awesome to see all of the types of people it helps. Soooo glad you got to stand and walk in it. You are such a positive light for others and their injuries by sharing your life like this. Go Makayla!!! 🤩
I would love to talk to you. This video has revived my youthful dream again to work as an OT or PT. I had forgotten how much joy I have in helping people to overcome physical challenges caused by accidental injuries or health issues. I needed to remember that to break out of the grief I have in losing loved ones to those things.
I'm curious with having those physical therapies with the combination with neuroplasticity and the power of the mind, can a person walk again? I have heard of stories of people totally recovering from strokes, so why not a spinal injury? Both the brain and spine are made up of neurons, therefore if the brain can fully recover from a stroke, why not from a spinal injury? Just curious of your opinion.
@@jennifers6463 it's great to be curious! The answer really depends on the type of injury. A complete spinal cord injury means all function/sensation below the level of injury has been lost. An incomplete spinal cord injury can have more potential for recovery and regaining of function but this is often case-by-case. These distinctions and potentials would be determined by medical professionals. A stroke or brain injury creates a different type of paralysis or impairment and in that case, yes, there is evidence that plasticity and spontaneous recovery play a very big role! This exoskeleton can be used for all these types of injuries as a mobility aid AND as a rehabilitation tool in the therapeutic setting. Please continue to be curious and do your own research 🙂 The human body/brain is amazing!
May I ask, can exoskeleton help strengthen muscles to maybe eventually walk again? I understand it depends on the injury, but it seems such an amazing step for paralysis. It looks like something that not only helps people achieve the feeling of walking again, but can maybe help the legs and muscles etc move.
Don’t be sorry for taking a robotic walk. This is part of your therapy. This a process that only you need to worry about your progress. Your positivity will take you far. Keep rocking it girlie
Makayla: if there’s someone within my lifetime that recovers from a spinal injury, I think it’s going to be you. Your attitude and excitement is contagious. Watching you use the robot was amazing. It’s cool how much muscle memory you have, which was noticeable in your arm movements.
@@SubwaySam10 not really I had patient who had similar spinal injury from motorcycle accident and it took him almost 2 years to recover 80% of his mobility.
I’m super proud of you too. I think your core strength had something to do with how well you did today. Your hard work and determination are paying off. And are an inspiration.
It feels so good to be on your feet when you're a chair user! I try to walk as much as (safely) possible at home, because it really is so special. I'm so glad it's an option at your rehab!
I was hospitalised last year due to UTI, pneumonia and HLH(a serious condition where my immune system acted against my own body abnormally), got deficient in vitamins due to many antibiotics and I wasn’t able to walk properly. I was so scared…I called my grandmom and cried and told the doctors I fear never walking again. They never said anything is going to be wrong but I was v scared. Apparently it was temporary and got cured after taking some supplements….it was diagnosed by the neurologist as as critical illness neuropathy. I was so glad when I was able to walk after a month and now I’m v grateful for the small basic things in life. I feared losing it once….now I truly know what’s the value of a ‘normal life’.
I know it was the robot, but I’m so proud of you for walking. It had to be so surreal being able to stand. You are an inspiration to me and so many others all around the world.
oh my GAWD girl I am so happy for you!!!! This is absolutely incredible and you are absolute an ICON for how hard you're fighting, and this video literally made me cry because if you can walk across the stage at graduation, girl that would be so good! The exoskeleton will also probably help your body relearn how to walk, and maybe mend some of the damage!
Oh my McKayla....your Incredibly amazing...watching you is miraculous....you keep going as the sky is the limit....You can walk and cheerlead again....Your remarkable and inspire myself and the world how to overcome any obstacle in your course. Keep smiling 😃 and being positive and in the near future you will be back again...Yahoo...We will celebrate you and nominate you to have a national holiday to illustrate to the world anything is possible...You're the best, my hero...you make me happy and proud of you....Keep us posted. We 💘 you....God Bless you love.
I’m a mom, nurse and former cheerleader and I just wanted to tell you that I’m absolutely honored to subscribe to your channel. We are put here on this earth for a reason and you never know when someone or something could be taken away you. While we’re here or while they’re here they should make an impact on someone’s life, and you’ve made an impact on my life.
The exoskeleton technology looks brilliant, I bet it was such a great experience after what you've been through. I only know you through youtube but I feel proud of you, you're an inspiration. Well done and keep going with your journey.
I just remember when you were struggling to stand up in the chair because of your blood pressure and to now see you standing and moving without having that issue is huge. So happy for you and can’t wait to see your improvements everyday. I’m in school for therapy so this is helping me learn from a patients perspective as well so I appreciate you sharing ❤️❤️
I love the big smile and you saying it was one of your best days in a long time. Yay!!I cheered so loud with you. So grateful for your support team and everyone surrounding you with positivity and motivation 🤗😄
As you stand and do your walking, if you happen to feel a little pressure on your shoulders- don’t worry, it’s all of your supporters both in person and in cyber, holding you up and helping. We are with you and you are great!
So amazing to see how god is using you through this season. I just know there are big things in store for how he is going to use you next, you inspire so many with your joy for the Lord and knowing it’s all for the glory for his kingdom and that is DEFINITELY true in this situation because your story is touching my life along with so many others! 💕
You have the most beautiful smile and inner joy I have EVER seen… You radiate the sweetest spirit, and it is such a blessing to see that, and in spite of what you’ve endured you are still smiling the biggest smile. I’m in awe of you!! We are celebrating your victory and your good day with you!!
I smiled so big through this whole vlog! you bring so much joy to this world and you truly shine so bright all the time! you never fail to amaze me!! love you so much Mak
This is so awesome and I'm so happy for you! I understand from the git-go that the machine would be doing the work. I think most people have seen something like this in a news story over the past year or so as the technology was developed. I figure one day, these will be standard issue for people who need this type of assistance, much like a motorized chair is today. I hope Kevin gets to see pics! She will be so proud of you, as we all are!!
I’m super proud of you, girlie!! You are working so hard and your hard work combined with these technological advances is what made this possible. You may not have done it all by yourself but you WALKED! You are a ROCK STAR ⭐️ Thank you for having us along for the ride 🤗
Never ever a disappointment!!!! So excited to see every video of you and seeing your progress. You give me inspiration and appreciation for my body. I love your attitude and best of all, smile. You are adorable and strong. Stay awesome!
This is absolutely AMAZING! Makayla I can’t imagine how this must have felt for you!!! It’s moving enough for me to see you walking, but it must have been monumental for you and your family. The wonders and advancements of our technologies are truly astounding! The best part is the huge smile on your face! You continue to inspire and show us ALL what it is like to face adversity with courage and strength!! Your outlook and positivity are remarkable as is your maturity! You are so deserving of this and so much more! 💜💜💜🌞🌞🌞⭐️⭐️
Makayla is truly inspiring! She has come so far in only six months! It is incredible how positive she is and she's a truly beautiful person inside and out. 💕
I cried tears of joy while I watched you walk. You looked beautiful and I know you were loving every moment. I don't really know anything about it so what I say might not be true but what I was thinking is that you actually were walking in your mind because I don't think you're brain could distinguish between whether you're moving or something was moving you so in your mind's eye I feel you really were walking! You're awesome and you know what life is step-by-step. I try to live in the moment I learn from everything in the past and I try not to look ahead because I can only control the moment I'm in. I'm so proud of you... you'remaking such progress. And your family is super wonderful and supportive and you're all so truly blessed. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sending love, blessings, and a great big hug....Linda 👍🤗❤
The therapy will be so beneficial for you! Stimulating blood flow and activating muscle receptors! Wishing you all the best, whether you walk on your own or not. ❤️
Here’s the cool thing about this. All your body & mind have to do is get comfortable with these movements. They’ll just do it after that. So happy for Mak & her supporters!
Mak, I'm so happy for you!!! This must have been such an incredible experience for you, and I'm so glad you get to keep doing it each week!. I'm absolutely sure that you'll get to live maaaany more amazing experiences in your recovery, your strength and determination have no limits. Girl, if anyone can make it, that's you! 💜 thank you for sharing your journey with us, you never fail to amaze us with all your achievements, and above all with your light! You are awesome!!!
This was amazing to watch. Thank you for sharing with us your first ever experience with this walking robot aid. I'm so happy too for you to have been given this opportunity once a week for your physical therapy. You're amazing! Inside and out! Your faith allows God to do so much in your life it's so evident. Keep on keeping on. God bless you and your family and everyone who's involved with helping and supporting you.
That’s cool. So proud of you doing and learning new things. Eventually I trust you will show us a video of you walking w/o a robot assistant. Curious- was it hard to balance? Didn’t look like you had any problem! PS thanks for bring us along. I’ve learned a lot about the challenges disabled people face daily, and the medical advances made to improve quality of life.
I’ve been following you for a couple months and so happy to see how much progress you’ve made! Your positive spirit is so contagious. You truly are amazing and thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Girl never apologize for not walking on your own. You walked, it was awesome to see you do it and make it look easy 🧡 keep being proud of yourself because I (a complete stranger in New Zealand) am so proud of you and all you're achieving and striving for in the future
YAYYYYYYY, OMG YOU GO GIRL! You look so natural, its amazing how the muscle memory is still there. You've made so much progress, I'm so proud of you, going from your first video about a being quadriplegic, to WALKING!!!💜
After following you for a while, I am so amazed at how far you've come and am so proud to watch! It's an absolute honour to witness your journey, your beautiful soul, positivity and determination will take you anywhere you want to go!
You are such an incredible inspiration to everyone you come in contact with, Mikayla!! You are such an amazing person.,I feel so blessed to have found your channel.May the Lord bless you to achieve all of your dreams💙💜💚thank you for sharing your journey with us.Sending love and prayers from El Paso Texas 😘😘
Love your attitude so optimistic!! You’re such a positive -wonderful example . You have a wonderful family - you, your mom And sister seem very close and kind💕💕 Glad you have a great support system
I am watching you as a proud supporter. As I sit in my salon and wait for my next client, I'm viewing this with tears of happiness in my eyes. I can't keep it together 🥰. So happy for you to feel that bit of normalcy that so many of us can take for granted♡
What joy I get to see you walk!!! And I don't even know you!!!! Keep up the great work...your one tough cookie and if anybody can walk again...it's you!!!! But remember to take it easy on yourself too. You've been through a lot and things take time. Okay, I'll stop preaching. But just so you know, you are an AMAZING YOUNG WOMAN!!!!!
Not everyone can say that they have walked with an exoskeleton! That looks like fun 😁 You embrace life in such an amazing way - well done to you and your family 💟
OMG, I'm just seeing your videos for the first time and I'm hooked! You're such an incredible young lady and your accident was so tragic but you've been so incredibly strong and humble and kept your strong Faith, omg, you're such an inspiration, you have so much courage! You have given me so much hope to keep fighting and keeping Faith alive! I'm so sorry I'm in full blown depression right now but just watching your videos and watching your courageous journey and how humble and strong willed you are, has really brought some light into my darkness! Thank you so much for being you! You're a true testament of what a survivor is, a warrior, a hero and an angel. Keep up the good work girly!
I am so so so happy for you Makayla. You are such a personality inspiration to me and I’m in my twenties 😂 thank you and your family for taking the time to share your experiences❤️❤️❤️
I'm 62 and I am inspired by Mikaela more than anything else in my lifetime! You keep rocking your recovery and we will keep you covered in prayer, extra love and support ❤ 🙏 🙌. Thank you God for leading me to this very beautiful young woman and her family and the journey you have for Mikaela! We are blessed to be chosen to follow on this journey. I know we will all learn so much and become even better people walking in Your light. Amen 🙏 Grandma Kelley 👵 🙏 🙌 ❤ 👏
Congratulations Makayla! So happy for you, that you get to experience the great new technologies, and do it always with a wonderful attitude. You’re a very inspiring young lady. My Dad was a C6 , C7 quadriplegic back in the 1970’s and the advancements in treatment and technology are amazing. Wishing you all the best!!! Blessings
This is so amazing and puts a huge smile, on my face!! You will definitely be such a huge part, of the technology, that’s coming!! Your goal of walking across, the stage, to receive your high school diploma, is becoming a reality!! You are and will continue to achieve, many great things!!
Every time i watch your videos i smile inside. You make me feel so humbled. What a remarkable young woman you are. You keep going, we're all behind you. The robotic suit blew me away. Sending you love x
There is so much advanced technology that we don’t get to see! I agree! It will be part of the near future. It was awesome to see you experience it first hand… So excited for you!!!!!🦋💜🎀🦄🌈🌞
You are such an inspiration my prayer is that one day you will be walking on your own. Im very proud of you and all your accomplishments. You have a great attitude and sunny spirit.
You’re a true inspiration for those of us who’s injuries have changed our world; it’s not always happy to live through these ordeals. Your attitude is Amazing
I just love your attitude and am so happy to see how excited and happy you were/are to walk with the robot.. I was having a little bit of a bad day at work and your video just turned it around .. im so happy to watch your journey and your positive outlook even though I bet you have your moments of frustration/sadness that you don't film
Not ashamed to admit it, it only took a few seconds seeing you walk before tears filled my eyes. I don't even watch this channel but I truly wish you the best on your journey you are very strong!
You radiate so much joy and gratitude regardless of the challenges you’ve faced.Thank you for sharing your story and for being such a strong and inspiring individual! 💕
Wow. I know you probably have a lot of internal struggles, but your outward positivity is INSPIRING!! You are absolutely amazing Makayla, and I hope you know that you're doing wonderful things by sharing your experiences with the world!
I wish these machines were made more available to people who needed them. Maybe one day they will be. Also you look like a pro in your manual wheel chair now! Speedy!!
Sooo proud of you Mac !!! You did an amazing job !!! Keep up the great work!! I can relate to your experience personally as I could not walk on my own for 6 months because I was in a bad fall also. I spent a very long time in rehab with a team of wonderful physical therapists. GOD IS AWESOME !! And HE has the perfect plan for each one of us !! I will continue to lift you up in prayer 🙏 everyday!! You are truly an inspiration !!! Thank you sooo much for bringing us along on your journey !!!
That's so amazing... I don't know how I found you on u tube... But ur inspiring attitude about Ur new life is amazing.. I hate what happened to you but I know it must give so much inspiration to others....You and Ur mom and for sure your sister are amazing ... Keep being you!!!
Congrats for walking!! Such a huge deal! I have Pots/Dysautonomia and I used to be a cross country and track runner. I unfortunately lost that ability due to my chronic illness. I had to relearn how to do stuff again. But at my PT place I go to, they have treadmills in the water, so I finally ran on there for almost 15 minutes this past week! Super exciting!! I get it. Keep going! You’re so worth it.
You need to become an advocate for these types of developments. I could see you traveling the world testing and helping to develop. Developers /engineers need input. They need to someone that can communicate. That's where you come in. You're perfect for that. They are working on these types o f things at MIT, CalTech and CMU. All the best. Pittsburgh
Oh wow..science is amazing..just showed this to my 9yr old granddaughter...she was amazed too . Super fun that you share so much with us strangers! Your cheery attitude is infectious.
I am cheering for you all the way from Switzerland! Your attitude to life is amazing and we all need to learn from it honestly… all the best to you and your wonderful family!
Well that just brought tears of joy and then when you said it’s so cool I want to buy one! LOL 😂 You make me laugh & your Smile Is so Contagious 🤗 Girl you’re So Amazing & Strong! Thanks For Sharing 🙏🏻❤️#TeamNoble
I hope your truly as happy as you are in your videos. I know it's not easy and you're not always happy but your outlook after such a major change is inspiring. To not only accept it but truly make the best of it. It's anothet step in my own journey of accepting things I cannot change or that don't go according to plan. The message you send can help people from small changes to big.
I remember that news interview from a little while ago where she said her long-term goal was to find a way to walk across the stage at graduation. If she's already getting to use an exoskeleton just six months after her accident, I know she'll find a way to make her goal a reality!
Amen!
Ditto!
I’m believing God that she will get that dream of walking across that stage
@@Hischild0000 Amen!
She has faith, a positive attitude and a family that encourages her to believe she can accomplish anything!
my oldest sister was paralyzed in a car accident. she passed away a while ago, but it’s so cool and heartwarming following you now and seeing all of the advancements they’ve made for people who are paralyzed
my condolences go to you ❤👏
so sorry for your loss ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss 💕
❤
My condolences to you and your family 💜
Hey I am 34 years old man going through accident and hard times (not as bad as yours) and your attitude is giving me courage to keep forward. Thank you, you are brave young woman.
She has the most precious smile. I truly do pray that all good fortune comes to her and her family. 🙏🏾
I can't stop crying 😢... regardless of "what" was actually controlling the movements... YOU were standing... YOUR legs were moving... YOU WERE WALKING!!! Might not have been 100% on you own, but that's STILL A WIN!!! 💕
I work in rehabilitation research and we use this robotic exoskeleton everyday! It is so awesome to see all of the types of people it helps. Soooo glad you got to stand and walk in it. You are such a positive light for others and their injuries by sharing your life like this. Go Makayla!!! 🤩
I would love to talk to you. This video has revived my youthful dream again to work as an OT or PT. I had forgotten how much joy I have in helping people to overcome physical challenges caused by accidental injuries or health issues. I needed to remember that to break out of the grief I have in losing loved ones to those things.
I'm curious with having those physical therapies with the combination with neuroplasticity and the power of the mind, can a person walk again? I have heard of stories of people totally recovering from strokes, so why not a spinal injury? Both the brain and spine are made up of neurons, therefore if the brain can fully recover from a stroke, why not from a spinal injury? Just curious of your opinion.
@@jennifers6463 it's great to be curious! The answer really depends on the type of injury. A complete spinal cord injury means all function/sensation below the level of injury has been lost. An incomplete spinal cord injury can have more potential for recovery and regaining of function but this is often case-by-case. These distinctions and potentials would be determined by medical professionals.
A stroke or brain injury creates a different type of paralysis or impairment and in that case, yes, there is evidence that plasticity and spontaneous recovery play a very big role!
This exoskeleton can be used for all these types of injuries as a mobility aid AND as a rehabilitation tool in the therapeutic setting.
Please continue to be curious and do your own research 🙂 The human body/brain is amazing!
May I ask, can exoskeleton help strengthen muscles to maybe eventually walk again? I understand it depends on the injury, but it seems such an amazing step for paralysis. It looks like something that not only helps people achieve the feeling of walking again, but can maybe help the legs and muscles etc move.
I got a little teared up!! I know you aren't actually walking on your own, but I am so happy and proud. What an amazing feeling!!! Keep going!
same! its so wonderful what "Good" can do. Im so happy shes taking us along w her journey
Same. Mak is super cool x
Again another not so positive comment!
Don’t be sorry for taking a robotic walk. This is part of your therapy. This a process that only you need to worry about your progress. Your positivity will take you far. Keep rocking it girlie
Amen to that!!!
Makayla: if there’s someone within my lifetime that recovers from a spinal injury, I think it’s going to be you. Your attitude and excitement is contagious.
Watching you use the robot was amazing. It’s cool how much muscle memory you have, which was noticeable in your arm movements.
I agree. She’s amazing.
Most recovery occurs within the first 3-6 months
Could not agree more.
@@SubwaySam10 not really I had patient who had similar spinal injury from motorcycle accident and it took him almost 2 years to recover 80% of his mobility.
There is no cure.
Way to go girlie, you ROCKED it!! It was a joy seeing your smile and hearing your family's joy for you through the recording.
I’m super proud of you too. I think your core strength had something to do with how well you did today. Your hard work and determination are paying off. And are an inspiration.

That’s cool. So proud of you doing and learning new things. Eventually I trust you will show us a video of you walking w/o a robot assistant. Curious- was it hard to balance? Didn’t look like you had any problem!
PS thanks for bring us along. I’ve learned a lot about the challenges disabled people face daily, and the medical advances made to improve quality of life.

You are an inspiration. Love and good wishes from Bangkok Thailand.
You are such a bright, sunny, optimistic young lady!! Keep looking forward to the future!!
Congrats for walking!! Such a huge deal! I have Pots/Dysautonomia and I used to be a cross country and track runner. I unfortunately lost that ability due to my chronic illness. I had to relearn how to do stuff again. But at my PT place I go to, they have treadmills in the water, so I finally ran on there for almost 15 minutes this past week! Super exciting!! I get it. Keep going! You’re so worth it.
You need to become an advocate for these types of developments.
I could see you traveling the world testing and helping to develop.
Developers /engineers need input. They need to someone that can communicate.
That's where you come in. You're perfect for that.
They are working on these types o f things at MIT, CalTech and CMU.
All the best.

You are such an inspiration to push through on the hard days. You are such a light and such a beautiful soul. Keep up the hard work.
That was so cool to have that available to you. I love following your journey. I'm so excited for you and your future.
Another step closer to the real thing!!! Never give up. ❤ You standing up (even with help) is a fricken miracle.

For Sharing 🙏🏻❤️#TeamNoble
I hope your truly as happy as you are in your videos. I know it's not easy and you're not always happy but your outlook after such a major change is inspiring. To not only accept it but truly make the best of it. It's anothet step in my own journey of accepting things I cannot change or that don't go according to plan. The message you send can help people from small changes to big.
