    Good to see you back! You’ve provided a lot of really good information for me and my friends as I learn how to navigate being an ambulatory user. Your videos gave me the confidence to start wheeling around in public, and now we have a vacation planned where the wheelchair will give me the independence and ability to enjoy myself like I used to! Thank you so much for your wonderful content, and I look forward to seeing more!

    @@davidbrouwers7309 : The same way I had to walk when my neurolgist at clinic wanted to find out how paralysed my left foot really is: only a bit, a bit more, if I can feel something (cold ground etc) or not. He took a video and some fotos within. These helped us - me, too, cause I wanted to be involved the whole time - to see the problems immediately the moment they were born. Now I know where I need to concedtrate when trying to get up three steps (with help, without I can't and time after time I must train or it WAS a ressource I had had once before.Balleridas and dancers in whole train in front of a mirror to notice by time they do the wrong movement that it's wrong and to stop it or to work hard to change it into right direction. If you're in a Reha you'll have seen the mirrors at all room walls to help both, pupils and teachers, to do right, helping hand or the one who trains. It's so important.

    THAT WAS BRILLIANT ! ! ! ! I'm guessing it took a lot of confidence and humility on your part to do this video, but I'm personally very grateful that you did. It not only helped me in understanding how you compensate, but I can see how I could REALLY benefit myself if I filmed ME and could have the prospective from outside my body so-to-speak of how I "attempt" to walk when I'm not using my chair. Mirrors can only help so much. But I'm afraid I won't be putting that on KZread - I'm a coward with zero self-confidence..... I wish I could see this in slow motion. And welcome back ! ! !

    As a dancer and dance teacher this information is so helpful to me and others to be more inclusive of the anatomy and also I have learned so much more about the mechanics of the body. Additionally the techniques you use to move are also some techniques used in strength training i.e. popping the toes or swinging from the hip.

    As ever completely open, honest and brave. Thanks for being such a positive role model for spinal cord injury. Your videos really helped me on my own journey especially in helping to decide whether to use my wheelchair or not for pain management and in learning to accept that I don't have to explain my choices to anyone. =) its so brave of you to show that you are proud to use what you have and not to be embarrassed re- atrophy or body image as a disabled guy. I think what your doing is so great and I hope any young guys watching with new injuries can see that all is not lost!! be like Richard your life isn't over; the best is yet to come.

I would then practice with my husband in the evenings. Thank you for all of the lessons. You’ve made my journey a little easier.

    Kids with disabilities like Cerebral Palsy and Spina Bifida have their gait analyzed annually (have CP) but adults who have a SCI and relearned how to walk are generally not analyzed but really should as it shows where problem areas are and where they could potentially develop (knee, hip, lower back etc). I don't have the videos from my analysis in childhood to mid teens to compare but always wanted a new analysis after my SCI (yeah, am a rare one with having both CP and incomplete SCIs at all 3 levels).

    This is a great video that show exactly how your body moves and what walking cost you. I have occasionally jacked up my back and put my hips out of wack before and I can't imagine the pain you have to be in daily. Your are a badass!!! Love that you are back kicking ass and taking names!!!!

    Thank you Maranda! It’s amazing how subtle difference can really jack up the whole body. In my case every motion is out of alignment. I really hope to get them back in place one day but if not, that’s ok too!

    From the first few videos you made that moved me to comment on KZread for the first time, you have consistently rolled out these incredibly valuable videos with unprecedented topics and types of content that has never been public access before. Nearly every major thing you've done on KZread has been an incredibly creative and pioneering endeavor that has brought education and resources previously unheard of outside the medical field and hardly taught adequately within healthcare and sociology. Many others have taught us great things by sharing their lives before you started, but you have reached unimaginable milestones for everyone in disability community, culture, awareness and understanding of each other. Richard I could not possibly be more serious and genuine in saying your work will be legend in more ways than one.

So sorry for all the stuff you had to go through, but you are stronger for it now! I will resume Patreon, I will hopefully be earning again, feel ready now, after just over a year. I did some recordings, too, so basically telling my life story, I am too lazy to write it, so recorded it, and listening back was quite interesting, and it helped me sort my head. Look forward to seeing more content, good luck with the filming, editing etc, your project sounds awesome! Do not worry about schedules for uploading, you can see from the comments here, you are a valued person with valued content, and will always have a true following. Lots of love.
