I’d imagine this video would be quite useful for those studying physiotherapy and anatomy and physiology, glad to see you’re back.
i'm studying all 3 of them and it was a really cool
Indeed he was quite great at naming the anatomy and how he named the irregularities
One of my intentions is to share this footage with my care team so they can understand my body better 🙏🏻
Yup. I am a PT, and this was very good.
Im a nursing student studying all 3, and yes this is excellent
Good to see you back! You’ve provided a lot of really good information for me and my friends as I learn how to navigate being an ambulatory user. Your videos gave me the confidence to start wheeling around in public, and now we have a vacation planned where the wheelchair will give me the independence and ability to enjoy myself like I used to!
Thank you so much for your wonderful content, and I look forward to seeing more!
Sthapppp you’re gonna make me cry. I’m so happy for you and so grateful that my videos have been helpful and empowering. You deserve a full life and I’m so happy to hear a chair is allowing you to LIVE 🙌🏻
I became a low level paraplegic eight months ago, and immediately found your channel. It helped me deal with a LOT of things. I can only hope to be able to give back to the community as much as I’ve gotten from you. Much love and support!
Yeah, it's good to have support in your first years. I crashed my L1 thirty years ago in small town in northern Finland. No support there. Only physiotherapists.
This makes me so happy to hear. I’m so grateful you found them so quickly and that they were so helpful 🙏🏻
It never once occurred to me to take a video of myself walking to see my gait and to evaluate for myself what I am doing right/wrong. Thank you for this idea. I won't be posting it on RUclips, but I plan to do so.
I have been thinking about it but never got around to actually doing it.
It's good to see how we actually walk as it shows where problem areas are and where new ones could develop.
I think of it like progress pictures fitness people take. Except it’s a video!
@@davidbrouwers7309 : The same way I had to walk when my neurolgist at clinic wanted to find out how paralysed my left foot really is: only a bit, a bit more, if I can feel something (cold ground etc) or not. He took a video and some fotos within. These helped us - me, too, cause I wanted to be involved the whole time - to see the problems immediately the moment they were born. Now I know where I need to concedtrate when trying to get up three steps (with help, without I can't and time after time I must train or it WAS a ressource I had had once before.Balleridas and dancers in whole train in front of a mirror to notice by time they do the wrong movement that it's wrong and to stop it or to work hard to change it into right direction.
If you're in a Reha you'll have seen the mirrors at all room walls to help both, pupils and teachers, to do right, helping hand or the one who trains. It's so important. Be blessed and I hope you're well.
Great to see you uploading again my dude. Hilarious that you chose a sock over some Speedo’s - you’re definitely getting some love from the devo’s on this one! 🤣
Oh is a sock! Lmao I here puzzling over what it is he wearing over his junk smh thanks man
Stoked to be uploading again! Well I had a sock with tape ready and available and I didn’t want any dumb excuse like “I don’t have a speedo” to keep me from filming. You know how that can be.
Bring em on! You know I don’t have any problems with the respectful ones 😋
@@Wheels2Walking yeah I remember Becky with the good hair - there are some good ones 😉
Can't wait to see what comes next ✌️
I don't think that is a sock, I think it's a microphone wind guard, you know sure microphone makes them in all sorts of colors lol.
Glad to see you're back I became paralyzed last year and your videos have helped me Alot thank you !
Feels good to be back and I’m stoked to hear the videos were so helpful!
HOLY SHIT A WILD RICHARD IN 2021
The fucking Hank Hill edit killed me 😆
You know it’s true tho haha
As a dancer and dance teacher this information is so helpful to me and others to be more inclusive of the anatomy and also I have learned so much more about the mechanics of the body. Additionally the techniques you use to move are also some techniques used in strength training i.e. popping the toes or swinging from the hip.
That’s super interesting thank you for this comment. My new massage person did ballet and she’s wanting me to get some bars to stretch and balance with.
As a dance teacher could you please spread the word... we need more dance classes for people in wheel chairs. I can finally move again from starting one of these classes but they are near impossible to find. There need to be more opportunities to find life on wheels.
hey buddy! I'm a para at L1. you really helped me when i first had my injury! thank you for being a light for our community
I’m so grateful the videos have been helpful. Thank you for this message it really means the world to me 🙏🏻
@@Wheels2Walking I'm 3 years out from my injury and getting stronger everyday! I always felt odd because i can walk with a walker, but the chair makes it way easier. Thank you again for educating the masses.
THAT WAS BRILLIANT ! ! ! !
I'm guessing it took a lot of confidence and humility on your part to do this video, but I'm personally very grateful that you did. It not only helped me in understanding how you compensate, but I can see how I could REALLY benefit myself if I filmed ME and could have the prospective from outside my body so-to-speak of how I "attempt" to walk when I'm not using my chair. Mirrors can only help so much. But I'm afraid I won't be putting that on RUclips - I'm a coward with zero self-confidence.....
I wish I could see this in slow motion.
And welcome back ! ! ! I've been wondering how you're doing. I'm literally BROKE right now, but I promise I will be signing up again for Patreon!
Thanks for all that you do.....
Bob! So good to see you bud. Yes it did take a lot of courage but I knew it would be helpful to others so I decided to SEND IT!
I hope you do but don’t worry about making it public. I don’t think many people will be doing that part either hahah
You can make the video slower on RUclips under the “playback speed” setting but next time I’ll be sure to record some slow footage next time!
No worries bud! There is some free stuff on there now if you wanna take advantage of it!
Welcome back man!
Thanks Aaron!
yesterday I was thinking about you and wondering when you would come back glad to see you again :)
Oh it feels so good to be back!
Lol man all the memes had my dying😂
The timing was perfect, it was long enough in between each one to focus on the video and what you are saying again. Then 💥 you hit it with another. Glad you’re back dude, sucks about the leg thing that it’s taking long. But that just means it’ll be perfect or as close to perfect it can possibly fit and function.
This comment is clearly coming from someone who watches a lot of RUclips and totally understands what makes a “good” video on YT so thank you for such positive feedback. I worked on this video for a month to make it as good as I could! Stoked to see your name in the comments again 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
@@Wheels2Walking 👊🏼
You’re back!! I’m so happy to see you post!
Ayeee! Happy to be posting :)
Congratulations on your progress. And for coming back on RUclips. We've missed you!
EDS person here! I currently have an appointment coming up next month to be recast for a new pair of leg braces. I'm hoping they will help me spend a bit more time out of my chair.
Thanks! I’m stoked to be back!
As ever completely open, honest and brave. Thanks for being such a positive role model for spinal cord injury.
Your videos really helped me on my own journey especially in helping to decide whether to use my wheelchair or not for pain management and in learning to accept that I don't have to explain my choices to anyone. =)
its so brave of you to show that you are proud to use what you have and not to be embarrassed re- atrophy or body image as a disabled guy.
I think what your doing is so great and I hope any young guys watching with new injuries can see that all is not lost!! be like Richard your life isn't over; the best is yet to come.
This is such a beautiful comment. Thank you so much for your kind words it really warms my heart 🙏🏻
It’s fantastic to see you back. Your vulnerability is amazing and the information is on point. I never thought of recording my gate to see how I’m actually moving.
When I initially came home from the hospital with a wheelchair I was completely overwhelmed. I went on RUclips and found one of your videos, which led to another. I would then practice with my husband in the evenings. Thank you for all of the lessons. You’ve made my journey a little easier.
Great to see you back online. I have just started my ambulatory wheelchair journey and like so many others your channel has helped heaps! You are informative and funny, which makes getting the info into the brain much easier. I wish you all the best for your brace and hope it helps you a lot.
Feels good to be back! What great feedback - even in my own personal life I’ve discovered that humor really takes the sting out of things. We’ll see I still have a lot of hope!
@@Wheels2Walking It is good that you are keeping positive. If you feel a bit down at times just think of the feedback from your channel here as a virtual hug from us all!!
Dude, I am so impressed at your level of mobility and what a great job you are doing despite your injury!! If only we all had your determination! Watching you walk was so fascinating to me, thank you for sharing. I’ve watched myself walk in mirrors many times for different reasons, and even after having my hips replaced I’m not doing as well as you are, so sincere congratulations. Also, thank you for having the courage to share something so personal. You do much for the encouragement and self-esteem of your community. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻
I agree 100%. As a T12 Incomplete para Richard's videos keep me motivated!
Both my knees and elbows are hyper mobile. Seeing the difference in what that looks like on one person really put it into perspective. How I thought I walked one way vs how I actually walk with or without my cane.
Might be worth recoding yourself and seeing how you move!
Wow this is really giving me god insight into the things that you have gone through and it’s wonderful to see that you are back to uploading and that you still have a positive attitude and outlook you are a huge inspiration for me and many other’s and it’s a lovely video. it’s interesting to to see the differences in the muscular structure of your legs
Super interesting indeed! I enjoyed watching it back as well
Dude, you’re back, 👏👏👏👏👏
Why am I not surprised the first comment Is from you! Haha did you know you’re top commenter on this channel?
Sheers from France! I'm glad you are back on doing videos. Keep up the good work you do for all of us around the world! Thanks for helping us. Merci beaucoup !
Blessings, Richard! The fact that you’re walking is a Miracle! Thank You for sharing and for being you 🙏🏽
Definitely against the odds!
Richard! Great video. I'll be sharing this creation with my clients, students and other neuromuscular therapists. It's wonderful you took time to "walk" us through your experience as you move, walk, stand, etc. I appreciate the repetition walking footage, it gives the viewer an opportunity to really visualize the exact muscles and their movements. Fantastic training video and inspiring... I'm sure your video is helpful for other people with paralysis. I love your humor! You are very much appreciated Mister! Hope to see you when you pass through Georgia again.
Kids with disabilities like Cerebral Palsy and Spina Bifida have their gait analyzed annually (have CP) but adults who have a SCI and relearned how to walk are generally not analyzed but really should as it shows where problem areas are and where they could potentially develop (knee, hip, lower back etc).
I don't have the videos from my analysis in childhood to mid teens to compare but always wanted a new analysis after my SCI (yeah, am a rare one with having both CP and incomplete SCIs at all 3 levels).
Thanks Leigh! Super stoked it’ll be helpful to you and others 👊🏻
I’m so glad your back Richard!!!!! Your videos are so useful and help so many people!!! It’s helped me see my wheelchair and my injury/illnesses in a better light!! Your amazing
Comments like this warm my heart so much. I’m so grateful for your and I’m so grateful the videos have been so helpful :)
@@Wheels2Walking your amazing honestly sending you the biggest hug
RICH!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE BACK!!!!!!!!!! I have been worried about you.
Well worry no more! Ya boy is back and better than ever :)
@@Wheels2Walking so glad rich! Missed you! You were a huge help you two years ago when I become a wheelchair user.
This is a great video that show exactly how your body moves and what walking cost you. I have occasionally jacked up my back and put my hips out of wack before and I can't imagine the pain you have to be in daily. Your are a badass!!! Love that you are back kicking ass and taking names!!!!
Thank you Maranda! It’s amazing how subtle difference can really jack up the whole body. In my case every motion is out of alignment. I really hope to get them back in place one day but if not, that’s ok too!
So happy for you, of course we all know hard work to get there !! I love the sock too and showing that it seems to work down there, standing proud , sorry I could not , not notice ;-)
Don’t let the sock fool you! The man meat is sleeping and it’s only the sock that makes it appear to be standing tall 😅
Welcome back! I followed your link here from Facebook. Hope all is well. Going to check out that podcast now.
Thanks for coming over from FB! This video would definitely no be allowed there 😅
Back like you never left
Such a nice compliment! Thanks AJ 👊🏻
Yay, it's been forever since I've seen something from you
Feels good to be back 👊🏻
SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU BACK!!!
Thanks! Happy to be back 👊🏻
Good to have you back buddy.
Feels good to be back!
Glad to see you back 💙
Glad to be back!
Glad to see the king is back
I don’t know about king but it’s good to see you here in the comments! Thanks for the kind words dude and it was super awesome getting to know you at VidSummit 👊🏻
So glad to see you again, been thinking and hoping you were okay. Great video💕💕💕
So happy to be back :)
Thank you Richard👏 I am so motivated by your determination and willingness to just be real and lay it out all out there. Literally lol! Gotta admit that my wheelie and curb- hopping skills can be directly accredited to your teaching and make the world way more accessible. Thank you for reducing my shame and empowering me to just do ME!
I’m speechless I hardly know what to say. Thank you for this comment - it’s so beautiful and warms my heart to the core. I’m so grateful the videos have impacted and empowered you so much. You’re a gem 🙏🏻
*squeals* RICHARD'S BACK! Ooo and his front, too!!! o.0 Missed you, dude. Great video, thank you so much for having the courage to post this one.
Ayeee wassup Lsai! Definitely took a lot of courage to post my “front” lol but I knew it would help so I knew I had to do it :)
Super interesting so glad to see you posting again!
Thanks bro feels good to be back!
Freaking rad to have you back!! You’ve provided so much knowledge and hope for me. Since the first video I watched of you while lying in my hospital bed to where I’m at now is incredible. Thank you!!
Feels good to be back! Stoked to hear you found me in the hospital 👊🏻 I’d love to know what you’re doing these days 🙌🏻
I am so happy that you are back with an upload
Same!
I wish I was strong enough emotionally to watch this. My tears keep blurring my vision today.
Not sure I understand this comment but I hope you muster enough strength to watch the rest of it!
love your tshirt so happy to see your back another great video they always inspire me and i feel less embarrassed about my disability
Thanks Anne! I’m so grateful the videos have empowered you and given you confidence despite your disability 🙏🏻
Yay! Glad to have you back!
So excited to see you back. Keep up your hard work.
Thanks Brian! I’m stoked to be back
Damn it's been so so long. I missed you. And damn some bravery to do a video like this. I hope theres more videos coming
Soooo long! But I’m stoked to be back. Yeah, it wasn’t easy uploading a video of my disabled body for everyone to see. Thank you for the compliment and yes! More videos to come and even more goodies on patreon!
@@Wheels2Walking havnt been on patreon in awhile...
I enjoy this video. I as a massage therapist I found this very interesting and very informative. So glade you made this video.
I can’t wait to show my massage therapist! It’s gonna help her know me and my body better 🙏🏻
Glad to see you back
Thanks! Stoked to be back :)
Good to see you back. Hope life has been good for you x
Feels good to be back!
I was recently wondering what was going on with you. Good to see you back!
Feels good to be back!
Good to see you back.
Good to see you here in the comments!
From the first few videos you made that moved me to comment on RUclips for the first time, you have consistently rolled out these incredibly valuable videos with unprecedented topics and types of content that has never been public access before. Nearly every major thing you've done on RUclips has been an incredibly creative and pioneering endeavor that has brought education and resources previously unheard of outside the medical field and hardly taught adequately within healthcare and sociology. Many others have taught us great things by sharing their lives before you started, but you have reached unimaginable milestones for everyone in disability community, culture, awareness and understanding of each other. Richard I could not possibly be more serious and genuine in saying your work will be legend in more ways than one.
I… I… I don’t know what to say other than thank you - it’s comments like this that help me whenever I’m feeling down or when I’ve lost sight of what I’m doing. This message will echo in my mind for years to come. Screen shotting this one for real ♥️
Well, you are back?! Now I am happy^^
Yes! Stoked to be back 👊🏻
Great to see you back mate, can't wait to see more awesome videos from you
Great to see you in the comments!
You posted this video on my 18th birthday, which is bloody epic!!!
I'm so happy to see you again! I was just thinking about you the other day. I have missed you!
Happy to be here!
Glad to see you back, brother!
Glad to be here!
Glad to see you back but can you at least post the podcast here after awhile? Or even just the update video? $5 may not seem like a lot but it add’s up. I understand why your trying the Patreon route, but it’s going to leave a lot of people behind. Including myself.
Glad you still around Richard. I randomly checked for a new video thru the year, and today, it was here. This will be educational for many. 😊✌️
Stoked to be back! The podcast and the update video are the same thing and it’s available for free on patreon. Just like the promo says! Click the link and scroll down. As a matter of fact everything on patreon is available for free - I’m curious if you even looked 🤔
@@Wheels2Walking of course I looked, but Patreon is never promoted as free, so why would anyone think or see that differently 💁♀️
Also when you click the link in the description, the first thing you see are paid tier levels. You have to scroll way down to see something about free. I did not hear free mentioned in the video but I could have missed it 🤷♀️.
But it’s also not clear if you need to make a Patreon account in order to hear it, or is it also like the original podcasts that were on YT, Apple podcasts, etc.
If I missed it, others will too ✌️
really glad to see you back. i had a fall of 3-4 stories and had a spinal cord injury about a year and a half ago. your videos helped me a ton coping with being in a wheelchair. i can walk now but i’m very similar with one leg being way weaker. appreciate the content. keep it up. it’s really helping people.
This was super interesting/informative to watch! Glad to see you back man.
Thanks Gabby! Feels good to be back 👊🏻
Welcome back. Thanks for sharing, with great vulnerability, so you can understand yourself more as well as for your audience to understand how you adapt to your physical body and environment.
Beautiful comment from a wonderful friend. I’m so grateful our paths crossed at one time in our lives. You’re the man 👊🏻
So great to see you again! And Bang - what a video! Your walking has improved a lot in the last year. Looking forward to seeing more from you again, you have been missed! In the meantime I recently have been watching Andrew at his new job, making great content.
😁😁😁
Hey Silke! Stoked to see you on Patreon again :) I’m also enjoying Andrew’s content at his new gig. Talented man right there 👊🏻
So glad you are back! Keep up the content. You have been missed.
Glad to be back!
Glad to se gou back agen i have Wonder wer gou been?? Gretings from Finland 🇫🇮
Greeting from USA! Patreon podcast explains everything!
Really interesting being able to see how your dif muscles work/don’t work
I know right!? It was so interesting to watch it all back and analyze everything from a different perspective.
I just wanted to say I recently discoverred your channel following doing some online research about wheelchairs, I have recently qualified for a wheelchair following suffering 6 full thickness burns on toes (3 per foot) just before Covid hit, I have difficulty walking any decent distance without suffering hip / back pain.
I am currently awaiting my first powered wheelchair to get back some more freedom of movement and can still get about on crutches, so finding your channel was a insperiation.
Keep being awesome my man !
Great video!!! Nice to see you back mate
Thanks Tee! Feels good to be back
The shift in your pelvis while walking is called a Trendelenburg-Sign and means your small glutes are paralysed (N. gluteus superior L4-S1). But it appears your M. gluteus maximus kind of compensates it on your right side - > very interesting that this is possible. Thank you for this insight
Great job Richard! Good to see you back on the Tube.
Your unassisted stand is how I do it as well.
Feels good to be back!
I was just searching for your channel a few weeks ago to see if you were back online!
RICHARD'S BACK BABY
Wassup dude!
You back!!!!!!! Finally!!!!!
Stoked to be back!
I am about half way through listening to your podcast, then my phone battery was empty. Ah, I missed you brabbling! So sorry for all the stuff you had to go through, but you are stronger for it now! I will resume Patreon, I will hopefully be earning again, feel ready now, after just over a year. I did some recordings, too, so basically telling my life story, I am too lazy to write it, so recorded it, and listening back was quite interesting, and it helped me sort my head. Look forward to seeing more content, good luck with the filming, editing etc, your project sounds awesome! Do not worry about schedules for uploading, you can see from the comments here, you are a valued person with valued content, and will always have a true following. Lots of love.
I’m better at talking than writing too. You can upload your audio recordings to a transcribing program and then edit the text and boom there ya go! Book written :)
@@Wheels2Walking Funnily enough I have written nearly 400k words for a story, when I started it I was typing for hours! It has been years in the making, but it is taking so long as the muse now left me. When it hits I am fine sitting for hours typing. Just writing about my own feelings etc, not good at that.
We have missed you so much! Glad to see you !
Feels good to be back!
Glad you are back!! Been wondering what happened and where have you been!!
You have been so inspiring as my husband sustained his SCI, T10-11 Complete. Not seeing anything from you was such a downer, you make us feel less alone.
Is this a new thing, all this walking? I knew you can go a short distance, but you looked like an able body now! Good job!
It feels so good to be back and even better knowing that I’ve made your family feel less alone - thank you for the beautiful comment :)
I don’t really ever walk this much and I really had to push myself for the video but all I had to do was get one good take from each angle so all in all I probably walked 50-100 yards with all the re-takes I had to do - shooting solo has it’s own challenges 😅 I still use my wheels 90%+ of the time :)
So glad to see you back on youtube! I'm able bodied but have always been fascinated with anatomy, so this has been very interesting to watch. I would gave liked some slow motion shots and maybe some arrows or something when you were talking about specific details, but overall super informative. Thanks for sharing and being this vulnerable
Stoked to be back! I’m happy you found it informative and I tried my best with the little bit of text on the screen and when I was filming totally forgot about slow motion but I’ll definitely do that next time 👊🏻
Good stuff and analysis 👌🏽
SHEROWN! Thanks! Good to see ya here bud 👊🏻
Yay, you are back
And better than ever :)
@@Wheels2Walking yeah you are improving little by little from the delay recovery from the car that hits you and inspiring other people who is able or not able who was born like this or just has an injury out of it.
Welcome Back Richard. I really love your videos even the shepherd Center
Thanks Jessi!
Love that you’re back! I was only just thinking if you’d ever come back
Feels good to be back!
Glad to see ur back! I've missed your content. But as a PT for over 30 years, I just had a flashback ptsd moment from anatomy 101!!!
You're back!!! yayyy
Back in action 👊🏻
Welcome back
Thanks!
Great to see you back again. I have HSD and a lot of my muscles are either overworked or not working and causing havoc with my mobility. Interesting to see your compensations in action.
Feels good to be back! I hope this video inspires others to take videos of themselves for the sake of progress. My body is all over the place haha
Btw greatt to see you back on yt :D
Amazing video!! Great to see you back with the videos!!
Thanks! Feels good to be back
Welcome back!
Thanks Jason!
My boy is back, great to see you.
YEYE!
Welcome back. Great video. Think I will do one of my hubby so he can see what I am talking about. C4 incomplete who has learned to sort of walk again, with a rollator. You taught us loads.
Great to see a new video up! Thank you for sharing it.
VEDA! Great to see you in the comments :)
Good to see you back! Keep on going. ✌️
Thanks Alex feels good to be back!
Glad to see you posted again… long time no see!
Happy to be back!
Eyyyyyyyy. YOU BACK!!!!
And better than ever! 👊🏻
Heyo! This was interesting to see definitely feel it helped me understand your injuries better
I’m a mess, aren’t I!? Haha
A few years back, I had a PT tell me that I had the strangest gait she had ever seen, and it's made me so self-conscious for years. I might have to try recording it for myself and having a more compassionate PT go over it with me to give me feedback on what muscle groups I can be working on even as a full-time chair user. Thank you for uploading this one!
Getting up from the floor without an aid is something I have not thought about yet. My left leg is weak and small from neurological condition. I've been watching your videos for inspiration, but need to get serious about my PT. THANKS so much for inspiration.
We were very similar in ability up until almost a year ago when my "good leg" stopped functioning 😒 I used to be able to lock my right knee and then slowly over time it won't lock anymore, which I knew was going to eventually happen. My feet just hang lol 😆 I also completely lack cake 🤣 It's good to be able to laugh at yourself. I'm sorry to hear you are still waiting on your brace! I hope things move faster in the future and they are able to fix the problems with it.
Booooo! I hate it when bodies just decided to stop working 🤦🏻♂️
Oh yeah despite my lack of cake I’m still a snacc haha yeah it’ll come when it comes but I’m not trippin too hard over it
It’s interesting to see how you walk and compensate for parts that don’t work anymore or as well as they should.
Yo for real, my body is hella weird haha
Holy shit youre back!!! Man its great to see you back and doing ok. Hope all is well and youre back to making videos.
