More Excercise Results

angel7 · 10-29-2002, 03:42 PM

First for eveyone's info I found a new harness that is comfortable and sturdy. You can find it at www.grainger.com - confined space harness - medium - 10810 - $158.15. I have been using this harness for supported gait training. It's going pretty good. I'm up to 15 minutes. Now some additional good news. As I said before, my therapist and I were working on standing with a tilt table, braces and a walker. I had gotten to the point where I could use my hips and thighs to pull up in a standing position. It was difficult and I couldn't hold the stand. That changed today. Did the brace thing today cause haven't done it in awhile due to the treadmill. I stood effortlessly and remained standing. I could also rock my hips front and back easily. I was so happy I almost cried. My therapist was amazed. Thanks for being there for me everyone. Looks like the excercising is doing some good.
