Meet Mr. James McCarter, Jr. This young man is continuing to do his “homework” while he is at home during the pandemic, learning to live with his new Knee Ankle Foot Orthosis. Marlies Beerli Cabell, CPO, delivered the device in late March. Mr. McCarter has a spinal cord injury and the brace helps provide sensation so he can feel his foot on the floor. He is very confident and determined and has already met his first goals!
He came in for a followup appointment last week, ready to show Marlies his progress. He wanted to share some words of encouragement to anyone who is getting through the COVID-19 pandemic:
COVID-19. I was working with my leg brace, even though I didn’t have PT every week. I push myself to work on my brace even though there is COVID-19. You can do anything if you put your mind to it.

At the other end and ready for the return!
