Video: Truck Transfer with Unlocked KAFOs

Getting in and out of a truck with KAFOs.  This is an older video with classic braces which I don't use anymore, but since there aren't many videos about everyday life with KAFOs/ long leg braces, I hope this upload will help others who are figuring out vehicle transfers.

At release from rehab, before leg braces and still in recovery from extensive upper body damage, I was told that it would take 4-5 people, a slideboard, and a bedsheet for me to get in and out of a truck.  Much healing and many steps later, what a major difference from the initial prognosis.

(Note: This video is from almost two years post-injury, with both KAFOs completely unlocked at the knees.)

Exoskeleton Update

A big story on all of the news outlets this week:
"Paralyzed man able to walk with mind-controlled exoskeleton suit"

From applications in medicine to industry to the military, exoskeletons are big news right now.  This interesting review, "The Human Exoskeleton comes of age," was released only a few days before the story of a new mind-controlled exoskeleton came out.
