🌟 What a way to start the new year! 🌟
Winnie came to us with acute progressive tetraparesis (inability to use all 4 legs) with an MRI scan revealing a bleed had occurred in her brain.
She presented to us:
* Unable to sit up from laying on her side
* Head flexed to the right when supported upright
* If supported in a stand she could weight bear on her right legs but knuckle the left
* Unable to walk but had slight movement on the right side while dragging the left
An individualised therapeutic exercise plan was developed to keep her joints and muscles moving while also helping her relearn functional transitions.
Her amazing dedicated family pulled together taking around the clock shifts to provide her with intensive care from home while also visiting us twice a week.
We were all shocked and impressed to see her WALK into the clinic this week! An amazing way to start off the new year.
Well done to Winnie and her family for putting in a mammoth effort.
