RICKY HONABLUE - Spinal Cord Injury
When a car jumped the sidewalk and hit 2-year-old Ricky Honablue head on, his mother #39;s world was shattered in an instant. Ricky suffered a severe spinal cord injury and was paralyzed from the chest down. A few years after the accident, the Honablue family moved to Michigan. Ricky receives weekly physical therapy at the Children #39;s Hospital of Michigan and is actually walking using a special brace called an RGO (Reciprocating Gait Orthosis.) While his wheelchair is still his most convenient mode of transportation, the ability to walk gives Ricky a sense of freedom and joy that can only come from standing on your own two feet.From:ChildrensDMCViews:1 0ratingsTime:07:22More inEducation

RIP Scripps Ranch Motorcross Racer - Jantz Grodzicki Dies After Crash
RIP Bravery Jantz GrodzickI - MX For Life This is Chris, Jantz #39;s dad... I wanted to first thank everyone for the heartfelt prayers for Jantz. I need to ask everyone the favor of including Jantz in your prayers as we move through this painful journey. Jantz sustained a devastating brain cell and spinal cord injury. He was wearing a layete brace and shoei helmet. We left the hospital last night with zero hope from the doctors of his survival chances. His heart stopped at the track and he was pronounced brain dead at the hospital with no response. He was however put on life support until we decided on the options available that I hope none if you ever half to face. A short while ago we received a call from the doctor that a miracle took place this morning at 6:30am that Jantz #39;s "condition has changed significantly" he is responding to eye commands, left to right, up and down and raise your eyebrows. Still no other responses other than this. Given what we were told this is truly a miracle. The thoughts and prayers shared here and on Facebook are what have helped him to make a move off the line. The race for recovery is just beginning and we can only pray that God will pull him through. May god bless each of you and your families. The Grodzicki Family....

His injuries included a traumatic brain injury and a severed spinal cord at the base of his skull. It has been very touch and go over the last few days for the sixteen-year-old rider. At one point even though he was pronounced brain dead when he arrived at the Hospital the doctors were all amazed that at 6am Saturday morning he started to respond to certain commands with his eyes. As we all hoped that this was going to be one of many miracles that would spare this young mans life. Once again we received devastating news.

Walking Again After Spinal Cord Injury @EPFL
Neuroprosthetics and robot rehabilitation wake up the "spinal brain" and restore voluntary movement. (courtine-lab.epfl.ch Additional footage by Jeff Desmarchelier (Erebus films - Rewalk webdocumentaire) Rats with spinal cord injuries and severe paralysis are now walking (and running) thanks to researchers at EPFL. Published in the June 1, 2012 issue of Science, the results show that a severed section of the spinal cord can make a comeback when its own innate intelligence and regenerative capacity mdash;what lead author Grgoire Courtine of EPFL calls the "spinal brain" mdash;is awakened. The study, begun five years ago at the University of Zurich, points to a profound change in our understanding of the central nervous system. It is yet unclear if similar rehabilitation techniques could work for humans, but the observed nerve growth hints at new methods for treating paralysis.From:TickTech2Views:0 0ratingsTime:02:18More inScience Technology
