Walking Up Stairs With Crutches | Incomplete Paraplegic -
I am an incomplete T12 paraplegic. With an incomplete SCI, it allows me to stand up and walk short distances with the aid of AFO's (Ankle Foot Orthosis) on both left and right feet. I also need the support of a walking aide such as under arm crutches, forearm crutches or a walker to support/balance myself as I stand up and walk. You can check out my earlier video where I show you both the AFO's and forearm crutches I use on a regular basis.
I also demonstrate how I stand up from my wheelchair. I always for my safety and comfort I most often use a sturdy or fixed object to lean on and push up off my chair to stand.
I don't often walk a whole lot. Reasons being are I'm limited to short distances, My hands are busy griping the forearm crutches so I am unable to hold/carry anything and I'm to dang slow! LOL. I am thankful for what I recovered. It does come in handy for when I load my chair in the back of my truck or have to climb stairs to get into a building. Just to stand up a stretch out is a great feeling.

About me
Twenty two years ago I suffered a spinal cord injury on a cold dark November night. It was diagnosed I had a T-12 incomplete compressional fracture. Since day one of my accident I have had and continue to have an enormous amount of support from my family, friends and community. Once becoming completely independent, bound to a wheelchair I always enjoyed giving back. Whether it was visiting schools, community organizations public speaking, demonstrating sports, visiting newly injured spinal cord patients, helping with non-profit organizations helping people is what I love to do. That is why I decided to start ParaLife TV. In today's world as we all know public gatherings, in my neck of the woods anyway have been basically shut down. ParaLife TV is a way for me to continue to help. Through YouTube I am able show people day to day experiences, how I have adapted to life in a wheelchair and share what our community has to offer.
