paraplegic standing and walking with kfo's 

This guy is amazing!! Love his mental strength... Such good energy...love him 💕💕💕

Thanks so much for this video, my son is 17 and has T12 from a motorbike accident last year, we watched it together and we have noticed a big leap of confidence in him the last couple of days, thanks a million for sharing

Thank you for makin this video man I'm recently a paraplegic burst fracture t8 to t12. To see that I can actually walk again is probably the coolest thing I've seen since my pt told me I could still swim

I love your positive attitude. I hope one day you can stand and walk by yourself.

dude this is badass. I've been a paraplegic for 7 weeks now, I'm at rehab and I'm in great shape. I learned that this is really healthy in a lot of ways. Deff gonna get some of these right away for when I'm outta here so I can keep my legs healthy as possible

michelle my son is a t56 ten yrs out . nothing below the nipples . he went to ken Bryant at reverse paralysis. in 15 mins he could do sit ups!then begain to move his legs slightly. 45 mins later he was doing leg presses.35 lbs! go figures this man knows how to get your muscles working again . my son was a sceptic, he only went on my insistence as a last resort. it changed his life! just amazing! it is real!!!

Mate that is awesome been a t4 incomplete for 18months now. Was in hospital 7 months broken back 4 places motorbike accident. Got my leg braces the other day and stood up on Paraell bars for the first time it was amazing. after watching your video you have helped with my motivation thanks keep up the good work!!!

That's a beautiful thing watching you get up and walk! I hope I can soon! Thanks for the inspiration! Jim

You'll be walking without them in no time fam. God bless you. Keep shining. I admire your positivity.

Wow you’re truly inspiring. I need a second back surgery and depressed about it until I saw you. I hope you’re doing well because God knows you certainly are making more than the effort to do what most people take for granted. I pray you never give up and never take for granted the many talents you have just waiting to be discovered! Have a wonderful night and a spectacular day tomorrow!

Hi! Glad to see your videos and it's also the inspiration for the people with disability. Are u completely paraplegic? Keep showing such videos coz it will be inspiration for people with disabilities.

Hey Jerry it feels good to see a fit guy like you wearing these braces. I wear braces myself... only on my left leg though cuz I had polio when I was young... I no longer feel like a freak..

Wow I'm a t9 I have only been in my chair for a year now as its good to know there's a whole community out there that can help me thru my issues as I start my long journey down this road of ours,great vid please let me know how I can get kafos my doc or no one told me about them :(

When it comes to the idea of walking, I always remember the words of albus dumbledore "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live". That being said, this looks like fun

went to ken Bryant ! amazing!hard to explain. a t6 nothing below nipples, ten years. ten mins after arrival my son was doing sit ups by him self. one hour he was doing leg pushes 35 lbs! he is the muscle whisper. I didn't say it was easy ,but it works ! do your self a favor, .get it touch with ken . you are the kind of guy that will rock with his work . it was jaw dropping. it changed our lives.that stuff will still work!

Amazing .... I bet it feels really good when you can stand up. I’m happy for you.

5'11" is a way different view than 4'2". Keep on with the positive attitude Sir. My motto is " Adapt, Overcome and Push On Through"

nice!! Love the attitude..so positive! ☺

I was injured 4/1981. T5 incomplete. After many yrs, every minute standing/ will transform into hrs standing. Go bro

Dude I'm almost your twin, close to your injury, used to have a yellow chair too- youre the man bro

Jerry how did get injured ? Glad you got KAFO's instead of beng stuck in your wheelchair all the time . Cheers !!!

Cont.. sci many don't touch on our inability or train for back steps. So hard to do that. I pivot ..can't hop lol. This wears ya out..muscles will be mad a day or 2.. keep doing it.. wear em just to sit so its less foreign and less a stimulus. I was so happy to see this .. WCMX is great that ya do it.. this is a entirely different & awesome achievement on a grand scale !!

great video! used this for a school project thank you! Occupational therapy students enjoyed watching

What a tremendous inspiration. Please, Can you share the process of getting them thanks.

You are one tough S.O.B.! Thank God you have excellent upper body strength. Awesome....just awesome.

Super cool... Great inspiration

Awesome video man I'm waiting on my braces to come back very uplifting video I got injured 1-23-20. T12 Asia C so all this is still fairly new to me but looking to make new friends and gain as much knowledge and help as I can keep posting bro

I'm t11- t12 complete sci ..I always watch your video jerry and thank you its inspiring .you think i can use leg brace that you use ..? because I want to stand on my own

Well done Jerry. As a c4 quad using my Fillauer llc stance phase lock spl2 kafo's .. I get what this takes. My foot area was modified to remove stimulus and its easier to use a shoe with a bit of a heel .. extra size doesn't become a issue. My side metal area go into each side of my shoes. I noted what a pendulum does being yours doesn't have it. The force forward to unlock would put some down.. kafo differences can assist for those needing more safety. Going backwards I laughed.. our SCI ..

Your such an inspiration! Never give up always believe in yourself! Absolute amazing :)! Xxx

Hey, thats looks really good. Does it work with crutches too?

yo jerry you the man i saw this flick i showed this to physical therepy home i stay in the first outside co. called perfed said no wont work im perment damage second outside co. they hired said if i come in 730 every day show improve then we will talk they came sept its now late oct. they ordered a doc to come measure and the see improve beyond and see if they can make for my changes im not damage goods nobody is th power of the mind is power thank you you save my life

Where did you get them from it looks good your a happy soul 🎂💕happy belated birthday love

Thanks for this awesome video :) you inspired me so much and I really hope I can walk on day again too! I am paralysed the chest down :/ you are such an inspiration

Thanks for you reply. Your video posting are the best because you explain everything very welll but most of all you are very positive. Keep working on walking, eat well, work out your legs. You will walk again one day.

These KFo's can help you when you are doing your shopping! You can stand up to g@ap somehing which is up and too high to get it when sitting! Great! I can stand up and go some steps, about 20 to 25. Then l need my chairwheel or a rollator for a few steps ore. I've 11 defect vertebral disks and my shoulders are "frozen shoulders" and l've fibromyalgia and a parcinson syndrome but no parcinson. These are the werst. I've ggt pain the whole day and niggths, too. But my Fentanyl helps to make it nevertheless. It's so hard to live with these every - moment and - move - hurts, but l love to live, really! And l wish that you are so kind and friendly all days! That's the right sight of life! Be blessed!

@demonslaye90 right on man! Thanks for watching! Good luck on your journey. And never give up!

Where I can find this kf'o my dad can't walk and this culd be a help for him

Thanks for another great teaching video bro ! That's what's up ! I'm wanting to try a pair.

Jerry Diaz - you are drop dead gorgeous!

Wow verdaderamente Jerry tiene un gran testimonio...que Dios lo continue bendiciendo...Goooo Jerry... by.Yolanda Vilella de Rivera

Aww you just made my day,I’m waiting for my KAFO!

Well done in these early days I had kafos all my life thru polio Wouldn't exist without em Part of my life Good luck

I myself have Cerebral Palsy & Autism (Asperger's) & I am a legbracer. I wear steel/plastic AFO's on my legs.

That's pretty dope. I'm a t11/12 complete you think I could use this being mostly flaccid at hips?. I'm almost 2years in a chair from surfing. Might have to go some place to get me in one.

You have had these now 7 years since the video was made, and I'm wondering if you continue to use them. I put my shoes on with only ankle strap tightened, to avoid skin damage, then fix other straps from bottom up.. And I wear leggings for same reason. Your gait is amazingly good, but still hard on hips, isn't it?! Have you been able to put more weight on legs and less on arms with time? Weight bearing is great for maintaining bone strength, circulation, and facing your mate!

great video, you give me hope to walk, thanks heaps ...

Thanks for sharing this video, it is very inspiring! I do have a couple questions; I want to know does your body have to acclimate for the (strengthening) of the trunk, because I have lost muscle, balance and strength. Thanks again, Thiah Doherty

Jerry your videos are amazing thanks for posting all the help info.

Buenas Jerry. que buen video,. yo uso de esos aparatos.

And looking at your wheel chair is like what am using can I also get these type to buy in Ghana

Awesome video! I'd like to see more of you walking (:

nice brace demo you tube. the KAFO braces do look good. the black plastic type

I got some. Mine are all white . Urs look awesome in black. I'm still.working in the balance of not using my arms as much.

Congratulations, you're in good shape so you should try with crutches. Good luck in your ongoing and autonomy. Salvation of a French

Great job pal I am incomplete spinal injury , braces are great but tiring

Have you looked into adaptive sports? Check out adaptive skiing, surfing, scuba diving, handcycling etc...

Super Movie :) Could you say something about orthoses, are they good and whether it's for ordering? Regards :)

You guy so awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Hi!I will explain you my situation. My brother had a snowmobile accident in 2012. So, he now suffers an incomplete paraplegia T7. (Sorry for my bad English, I come from Quebec (Canada))Now, he is able to move his toes, a little bit to move his ankles and in a pool. Do you suffer of a complete paraplegia or an incomplete paraplegia? Are you still using the prosthesis? . I would be very happy if you answer to my questions. Have a nice day and thanks you very much

Very good 👏👏

Coo. Im moving to Denver ill have Craigs rehab get me some scripts for these. Big ups with all the videos.

I’m in a wheelchair and I went to a place that makes Kafos. I was wondering if you can lift you leg straight up from a seated position?

I admire how you stand up and walk with this braces§ I am also paraplegic. Can you walk with braces and crutches?

OMG! YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION! I am in rhe same braces you are in this video. I waslk wit a walker as welll so my question is how do I balance without the wheelchair/walker?

While walking with these kafos, do we require to keep our pelvic a bit front from normal posture??

Happy birthday for last week. I just got me some AFOs so good to get up out of the chair now and again

Hi yes you could try stand up and walking using crutches.Rmbr you are sstrong,very strong.Tk you .Go ahead.

Hello Jerry, my boyfriend has become inspired with your video. Where can I buy the equipment for him? Watching from 🇲🇽

Hey man you may have said this already but what is your level of injury? I'm T8 and in the process now but they talking about RGO's instead of KAFO

Your attitude, your athletic body, your positivity, your determination, your sexiness all of it is so so so sexy! I have a crush on you!!!!!

How do you get your legs to look normal do you use electrical stimulation?

That’s sick. What level are you I’d guess like T10

I'm impressed you really did great walking. I used to wear afo's so I know what you are going through. Keep it up, get some camo kafos next time, might as well have some fun with it.

I have a KFO for my right leg and an AFO for my left, I don't really like them though but I can walk farther with them

Thanks for this great video, I wasn't aware of how braces changed in 20 yrs I am going to get some of these , what's your level of paralysis? I ask due to the fact you looked like a pro with these , also Happy b-lated Birthday:-))

that is so amazing man, wow, you are impressive!

Please tell me. Where can I get that for myself. So I can try to stand up like you. I got T5 completed spinal cord injury.

Fantastic , could you please tell me where you brought this KFO , address please

I have a pair of those you should get the upright Walker also

Bravo! Eşti tare! Mi-ai plăcut mult.

Is your injury complete paraplegic?I'm D-8 complete paraplegic. it's been 4 years almost still whenever I try to stand (with Gaiters) in Walker my knees always bend and it gets too difficult to stand.how can I change that.

What’s your level of injury and are you a complete or incomplete?

How long have you been paralyzed? great inspirational video btw

Wow! Never heard of these. Truly amazing.

my name is bruce an im a quad and i finaly got my kfo's and i was wondering if they would make my legs strong enough to be able to not use them anymore.

Donde puedo comprar esas tipo prótesis de piernas, para levantarse y cuál es su costó Soy de México

@lux caster yea,just gotta have the right balance I guess.i ll try it someday

Nice gentlemen iam too paraplegia from 37 year your caliper is very nice place sand details where are manufactured or only caliper video.i am India thanks

hope you can reply.can you feel your legs or move them??

does standing on leg braces help with circulation and what not ?.... i prefer my wheels its more practicle and independent for me... but imnot para.. im CP, but still for me wheels are much more independent, liberating and give me freedom and all ;-)

@madsvh666 I don't consider myself paralyzed,because to be pararlyzed is to be imobile. and im far from that. but i've been using a wheelchair for 2 years.

My grandson has a T4 break it did not sever his spine however he's paraplegic I would love to see him walking nice he's 16 has his whole life ahead of him please let me know how you got approved for these prices and what do I need to do to get theses

hi,thanks for watching.iam a t10 t11 incomplete. and naa far from a pro lol this was the second time useing these.im just a good improviser,.and thanks for the happy birthday shout out :)

Hey I’m just curious cause my mom had surgery and she didn’t need to and they don’t know if she will walk again or not but laying down she can move her right leg but her left leg she can move it just a little but not as much as her right when you were walking were you still trying to move your legs on your own to try and get the brain to remember the walking motion?
