I received my Save Our Spots sticky pads in the mail and have yet to use them.... which is a good thing! Go to my Linktree in my bio for the link to get yours for free! Here is the web address: https://www.braunability.com/us/en/community/the-driving-force/save-our-spots.html I think these sticky notes are an easy way to educate people when they park on the access aisle. For instance, this person parked on the access aisle and has a parking placard. They should know better... right? I had security make them move their vehicle, but this would have been a good example of when I could have stuck this sticky on their window too. #SaveOurSpots #Accessibility #AccessibilityMatters #Disability #SpinalCordInjury #Wheelchair #WheelchairUser Id: 1.

Embracing a positive mindset is not just about feeling good; it's about reclaiming control. ✨ Positivity becomes your greatest ally, especially in the journey of overcoming a spinal cord injury, where every day can present new challenges and uncertainties. It empowers you to navigate through your circumstances with resilience and determination rather than being overwhelmed by them. Stay positive, stay strong, and watch as you transform obstacles into stepping stones toward your recovery and beyond. 💪🚀 • • • • • #research #MortonCureParalysisFund #MortonCure #paralysis #paraplegic #quadriplegic #spinalcord #spinalcordinjury #SCI #spine #neurological #neuro #research #neuroresearch #spineresearch #studies #walkagain #walk #donate #resources #support
Up ten hand. You know you might like that 2x4 box attached to that silly and “wred” pancake. But just ten might not be hot enough We learned the word MAXINE, that’s when we turn the dial untill it stops. Dad use to wear that same pancake every day. Especially weekends and holidays especially my favorite, Thanksgiving Long arc, short arc, heli-arc, and in the dark. Eggshells and spiderwebs. Family time is always better when we look at dad’s old stuff. #welding #welders #spinalcordinjury #spinalfusion #bearded #beard #pipewelder #pipeline #pipeliner #trendingnow #trendingreels #viralvideo #viralvideo #FacebookPage #facebookpost #fypシ #fypviral

Hoy es el día internacional de las personas con discapacidad, y no queda nada más que decir que a pesar de que se me puede hacer más difícil hacer ciertas cosas, no he parado de hacer lo que más me gusta. Tiene mucho que ver con la actitud con la que uno enfronta las limitaciones: O decides negarte a pensar que “no puedes” , o intentas y te das cuenta que en realidad hay tantas posibilidades por delante. Tener esa mente abierta, me ha llevado a hacer cosas y llegar a lugares que jamás pensé que llegaría. Tengo, además, un grupo de seres maravillosos que me empujan a lograr mis metas y me ayudan en los momentos que más los necesito (amigos, familia, ustedes saben quienes son). De nuevo, gracias Diosito por darme una oportunidad más de vivir, aunque sea con una discapacidad🙏🏼 ————— #internationalpeoplewithdisabilitiesday #disability #motivacion #spinalcordinjury #sci #discapacidad #december3 #wheelchair #motivation #silladeruedas

Why perform banded side steps? ✅ Increased neural activation and strengthening of the gluteus medius muscle which is important for stabilizing the femur and pelvis during weight-bearing activities, especially when in single leg stance. . Regardless of band position, focus on ▪️Maintaining constant tension in band (helps maintain activation of glute med throughout exercise) ▪️Keep shoulders and hips level (excess trunk movement indicates compensation with QL) ▪️Small, quick step outs improve both muscle activation and muscular endurance which is important for the glute med . . Where should you place the band❓ ▫️Knees: Easiest but still beneficial for glute med activation ▫️Ankles: great middle option, does promote increase TFL activation opposed to just gluteus medius however. ▫️Forefoot: Hardest due to longest lever arm but better for increased activity of both the gluteus medius AND peroneals which often need to be addressed after neurological injury . . 🎵 Afterglow by Roa https://soundcloud.com/roa_music1031 Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/3esgVLC Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/vEhUJCknD5A 🎵 . . . . . #neurorehab #neuropt #hipabductor #hipstrengthening #glutemed #neuroot #neuronerd #forceduse #strengthtraining #balancetraining #balancefitness #handeyecoordination #strokerecovery #strokerehab #parkinsonsdisease #parkinsonswarrior #spinalcordinjury #dualtasking #multitasking #physicaltherapy #balancedbody #balance #dptstudents #otstudents

🐌 snail’s pace 🐌 I was one week away from one year without steroids. The past two weeks have slowly unraveled and familiar pain, disorientation, and fear crept over me. It’s been an unfortunate reminder of what it means to have a chronic condition, and that wellness isn’t a linear journey. I’m grateful for having a medical team that was quick to respond. I’m grateful for having a dog that demands two walks a day- And even though she’s the fastest dog in the neighborhood, she’s totally fine moving at a snails pace. . . . . #syringomyelia #syringomyeliawarrior #spinalcordinjury #spinalcordinjuryrecovery #spoonie #spooniewarrior #spoonielife #sci #retiredgreyhound

A week ago, I was praying that I wouldn’t have to bring this van home empty. I prayed out to God to bring my husband back to me. He answered my prayer. Andre is home and on the road to recovery.

Intro to Standing Frames 📚There are so many benefits to developing a standing program but please note more research is needed. A lot of this information is from the easystand website! Moderate-High level evidence for stroke/SCI ▫️Improve/maintain range of motion ▫️Improved joint mobility/reduction in contractures for sub acute phase ▫️Improved standing symmetry ▫️Manage pressure (ulcers) through changing positions ▫️ Improve bowel function and regularity ▫️Aid in kidney and bladder functions Low level/mixed evidence ▫️Reduction in spasms/tone ▫️Improve/maintain bone integrity/skeletal development (60min daily needed) ▫️Strengthen cardiovascular system and build endurance ▫️Improve strength to trunk and lower extremities (higher evidence if using task specific training in sub acute stroke) ▫️Management of atrophy in the trunk and lower extremities More studies needed to determine ▫️Lessen/manage the progression of scoliosis ▫️Improve Circulation ▫️Reduce Swelling 📖 BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 2015; 16: 358. Published online 2015 Nov 17. doi: 10.1186/s12891-015-0813-x PMID: 26576548 . . 🧠 There are many different types of standing frames available for use but these are typically what we use most for practice in clinic. . . 🧠 If you think you would benefit from a standing frame, speak with your local therapist and see if you can get one ordered, insurance often covers them! . 🎵 Acoustic guitar beat “I Wouldn’t Mind” . . . . . #neuropt #neurorehab #trunkcontrol #standingframe #standingprogram #standing #spinalcordinjury #spinalcordinjuryrecovery #sciexercise #scirehabilitation #strokerehab #strokerecovery #strokesurvivor #braininjury #musculardystrophy #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #neurology #dptstudent #dptstudents
Benefits of Long Sitting 🧠 Long sitting and Ring sitting provide many functional and therapeutic benefits after a neurological injury, especially after a spinal cord injury 🧠 Reasons you would benefit from long sitting and ring sitting drills ✔️ Challenges trunk control and is a great functional position to don/doff pants, socks and shoes ✔️ Tone management ✔️ Dynamic stretching for low back/posterior chain that gets tight from prolonged sitting ✔️Improves hip and pelvic mobility needed for transfers (floor to wheelchair, etc.) . . ❗️Please note these exercises may not be beneficial for everyone. If you are hesitant or if the exercise is causing any pain or discomfort, please speak with your local physical/occupational therapist.❗️ . . 🎵 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Bright Futures by GalaxyTones https://soundcloud.com/galaxytones Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/3jEniOU Music promoted by Audio Library . . . . . #neurorehab #neuropt #longsitting #trunkcontrol #neurorecovery #spinalcordinjury #scirehab #lowbackpainrelief #fixlowbackpain #stroke #strokerehab #strokerecovery #braininjury #multiplesclerosis #parkinsons #neuroplasticity #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #rehab #health #injuryprevention #neurology #pain #decreasepain #dptstudent #dptstudents #choosept #dpt

In honor of #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, Laurie reflects on balancing her body and mind after a spinal cord injury. ••• Like many of us, my spinal cord injury came into my life with a bang – a car accident, to be exact. My first encounter with a therapist post-SCI was in the ICU when I was hopped up on a large amount of morphine. I remember her asking me how I dealt with stress in my life. I told her that I saw joy as a cloud, and whenever I felt down, I could just reach out and pull a little piece of joy off that cloud for myself. Yeah, those drugs were strong. The next time we saw each other, I was no longer on the morphine drip. I was coming back into my body and into my new normal of being paralyzed, the harsh edges of trauma no longer cushioned by chemistry. Since we had last met, I could see in the therapist’s face that we were now worlds apart. My internal emotional landscape had experienced a seismic shift while her own had remained relatively stable. I felt my face burn hot with envy. When she saw my distress and cheerily reminded me of my “cloud of joy” that I could pull from, that burning envy became a boiling bitterness, and I felt myself shut down. I also felt a strange sense of violation, as if in ICU, she had seen me in a vulnerable, intoxicated state and was now expecting me to access that same space. The only clouds I could see at that point were storm clouds gathering on the horizon. A hurricane of grief was coming, and there was no joy in it. I don’t remember seeing her again after she left my room that day. It’s possible I did and have simply blocked it out. Many of my memories of this time are missing, altered, or out of order. What I do know is that my encounters with her did not make me feel great about rolling out the welcome mat for future therapists.

One week ago today, I was in my booth at the New York Metro Abilities Expo in Edison, NJ. Today I am relaxing and rejuvenating after a major push to get everything ready for the Expo and be on point for three days! As it turns out, a fried who was picking me up after the Expo had to go to Wilmington where I was able to reconnect with a friend I haven’t seen in 25 years! While in Wilmington, we drove over to the March of Dimes Resource & Technology Demonstration Center in New Castle Center. This was my first time visiting there since I sent them some of my adaptive skirt to have on display at the Resource and Technology Demonstration Center. It was great to see how they had set up the center to make available to people with disabilities, all types of products! The room where the products were on display, was like a mini Abilities Expo! Some of my skirts are paired with Tommy Hilfiger shirts also on display at the Center along with his other adaptive clothing items. #italianwoman🇮🇹 #believe #dream #strongertogether #adaptiveskirts #adaptiveclothing #inclusion #believeinyourself #nyc #wheelchair #wheelchairfashion #wheelchairkids #quadraplegic #paraplegic #spinabifida #spinalcordinjury #cerebralpalsy #spoonie #diversity #diversityandinclusion #Inclusionforall #disabilitypride #representationmatters #disabilityadvocate #disabilityadvocacy #expo #marchofdimes

We’re inspired by Doug & Debra who, despite facing significant challenges, have shown incredible determination in their stroke recoveries. 💪🧠 Shortly after recovering from a spinal cord injury, Doug suffered a massive stroke on Thanksgiving Day 2019. With our donor support, Doug progressed during rehab at @lmhorg and is now ABLE to walk and talk! 🙌 Likewise, Debra and Steve’s response to Debra’s stroke was truly motivational. They launched @StrokeOnward to address the emotional impact of strokes, much like Falling Forward tackles therapy caps. Debra and Steve’s initiative is a shining example of how adversity can inspire positive change. Together with organizations like Stroke Onward, we ensure individuals have the resources to reclaim their lives. 💙 Consider donating and empowering others like Doug (link in bio). 📸 Doug & his wife Shirley (far left) with Debra Meyerson & her husband Steve Zuckerman (far left) (July 2022)
A lesão medular (LM) é resultado de uma lesão em uma determinada extensão da medula espinhal, resultando em perda motora, que pode variar desde função prejudicada até paralisia completa de um grupo muscular ou membro, abaixo do nível da lesão. A LM pode ser completa, o que significará perda de todas as funções, motoras e sensoriais, abaixo do nível da lesão ou uma lesão incompleta é aquela em que há função neurológica abaixo do nível da lesão, podendo haver perda motora completa, mas perda sensorial incompleta, ou vice-versa. A classificação da LM é realizada pelo manual de classificação da American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA), detalha as deficiências sensoriais e motoras que podem ocorrer ao longo da medula espinhal. Os aspectos nutricionais atualmente usados no esporte para pessoas com deficiência baseiam-se principalmente em dados de atletas convencionais, mas é quase certo que não são diretamente transferíveis para atletas com lesão medular (LM). #sportnutrition #paralympics #spinalcordinjury

After Kazuki Okuno from Japan was paralyzed in a car accident, he discovered adaptive sports (track and field and swimming) and credits them for helping him move on from "rock bottom" after his injury. Also a reggae fan, here he is with Kenty Gross and Natural Weapon, reggae and music artists from Japan.

The doctors gave Zac some medication to control his leg tremors and it has changed everything! Zac has gone from needing a cane and someone with him constantly, to walking up and down stairs without assistance. 🙂 Without all of his energy going towards balancing, he can now focus on his arms and hand strength, and strengthening his neck muscles so he can lift his head longer. It is a game changer for him! He hasn’t wanted to be in bed at all the past few days. In fact, he talked me into going golfing and having a putting competition. It was the one-handed young guy against the two handed old lady. He wanted to drive the golf cart. So we took one out before the club closed and drove all over that golf course chasing our bad putts and ill conceived shots. It felt a bit like the first time you take your 16 year old out on the road. Scary, but necessary. No crashes. No rollovers. Just a one handed guy with numb legs and his mom that wasn’t dressed to code, flying under the radar. 🤷♀️😁❤️ #jobseeker #careercoach #thejobdoctor #jobdoctortessa #jobtips #careeradvice #workadvice #managers #difficultboss #uncomfortableconversations #interviews #overworked #worklife #jobsearch #momlife #golf #spinalcordinjury
