@nextstep_orlando Last week Jennifer was able to stand for the first time without trunk support! [by the end of the first video, you will see Travis is barely needing to spot her upper body anymore] Then her trainers were able to turn up the stimulation on her quads enough to where she no longer needed knee support!! This was a huge breakthrough for Jennifer, who’s posture has improved so much since last summer that it is really making a difference while she is standing. #spinalcordinjury #paralysis #progress #posture #paralysisrecovery #Xcite #standingwithstim #electricalstimulation @restothera #nrn #activitybasedtherapy #nextsteprecovery @jennstar2409 @jennifersjourneytowalkagain
