Pre-trial life and struggles
Before her injury, Sheree had led an active and fulfilling life. She regularly played tennis and attended aerobic classes. The spinal embolism drastically changed her daily reality. Although it confined her to a wheelchair, it did not diminish her spirit.
Discovering eWALK
In early 2023, Sheree was invited to take part in the eWALK trial. This marked a significant step in her journey to regain mobility. Over 12 weeks, Sheree underwent intensive exercise therapy and neurostimulation. She made remarkable progress.
Transformative Results
By the end of the trial, Sheree achieved a monumental milestone. She walked the length of the room aided only by a single crutch and callipers. This achievement was more than physical progress; it was a profound emotional victory, reigniting hope and optimism.
Sustained Benefits and Future Aspirations
Sheree has continued to experience significant improvements. She can now sustain standing exercises for up to 30 minutes and is more aware of movement in her feet. Her story underscores the transformative power of innovative research and the importance of continued funding to make these opportunities available to everyone.
