Come for a trot and a laugh with our lil’ legend Lou! Louis has a C4 spinal cord injury and central cord syndrome which means his arm function is affected more than his legs. He’s showing off his strong pins here with a huge 20 minute effort taking independent steps. Cutting his stroll down into a 3 minute video means we just can’t do his endurance justice so please keep that in mind when you watch this. As always, we hope you have a laugh and learn a little. 💜 P.s. @perrycrosss what are you sa

Case Study 150 - Cauda equina syndrome (CES) Cauda equina syndrome is a medical emergency that happens when an injury or herniated disk compresses nerve roots at the bottom of your spinal cord. The cauda equina nerves communicate with your legs and bladder. It causes back pain, weakness and incontinence. Quick surgical treatment may prevent permanent complications.
