HOW TO DO WALKING TRAINING WITH WALKER IN PATIENTS WITH ASIS TYPE C QUADRIPLEGIA WHO DO NOT HAVE HAND CONTROL TO HOLD THE WALKER DUE TO LMN LESION AT C7, C8 & T1.
Quadriplegic patients who have LMN lesion at C7, C8 & T1 do not have hand control and are unable to hold the walker. In spite of improvement in lower limb and trunk strength these patients are unable to walk with walker because they can’t hold the walker.
So what is the solution?
The solution is very simple. When they are not able hold the walker due to hand weakness we can use forearm support walker for gait training.

progress can be noted by regular recording of ASIA SCALE. I Recommend monthly checking of ASIA scale in all spinal cord injury.
