    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!

      @@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.

    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 CZcams - I'm a coward with zero self-confidence.....
    I wish I could see this in slow motion.

    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.

      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).

    From the first few videos you made that moved me to comment on CZcams 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 CZcams 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.

    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.

      sometimes you don't have a choice, I was in a coma for 4 months after my accident. It took years just to get my upper body strength back. I could still stand after my injury for about 4 or 5 months...but muscles atrophy and injuries happen. Severely dislocated my hip trying to walk the way my parents wanted (NOT RECOMMENDED BY PHYSIO AT ALL)....they didn't take me to the hospital. So that is now a lifelong injury that prevents me from standing or walking. it hurts and will eventually require surgery to fix, I've had that dislocated hip for almost 30 years, it's worn a grove into my hip...eventually, the bones will break and fragment and surgery will be needed so I don't die.
