Below you will find a quick video of my new standing frame. Thanks to recent contributions to my cause, I was able to purchase one.
A standing frame assists a Spinal Cord Injury individual into a standing position. I can stand with a walker and AFO braces but the standing frame allows me to stand for longer durations completely by myself. Though the standing frame is considered to be “passive” standing, there are various benefits:
- Keeps the legs active through weight bearing
- Helps the blood to circulate to the lower extremities
- Strengthens joint stability
- Maintains bone density
Since I have the standing frame at my apartment on campus, I will be able to stand on a daily basis. With the addition of a table, I will be able to do my homework as I stand. It is a win-win!

This is the next step forward, but I still have several steps to go in my recovery. Please visit www.HelpJenWalkAgain.com on ways to donate.
Thank you my angels!
