VIKTOR'S STORY OF RESILIENCE AND PROGRESS THROUGH VERTICALIZATION AND WALKING
Viktor's journey is a tale of courage and determination that inspires us all. Despite the immense challenges posed by his spinal cord injury, Viktor's path towards physical rehabilitation shines with hope, fueled by his resilience and the breakthroughs of modern methods. Read his whole interview (Czech only) here.The Crucial Role of Standing Tall and WalkingThe importance of verticalization and walking cannot be overstated. These fundamental aspects of spinal cord injury rehabilitation offer not just physical benefits, but also psychological and social ones. Standing tall and taking steps forward symbolize not just movement, but freedom and independence. Sitting for over 8 hours daily has been demonstrated to adversely affect health and longevity, whereas standing is advocated as a healthier alternative. Dosage data of supported standing programs indicates that utilizing a standing device for 30 minutes, five times a week, yields positive effects on various outcomes such as self-care, standing balance, cardio-respiratory health, strength, spasticity, pain management, skin health, and bladder and bowel function. However, achieving positive impacts on bone mass density and mental function may necessitate standing for 60 minutes, four to six times a week1. UNILEXA offers the possibility of consistent training both in rehabilitation centers and the continuity at the user's home.As Viktor's rehabilitation progressed, he embraced the opportunity to walk again with the support of our UNILEXA exoskeleton. Our technology provided Viktor with newfound autonomy, empowering him to take strides towards his goals.Join Viktor's Quest to IndependenceWhile Viktor's progress is remarkable, his journey is far from over. To bring the gift of mobility to Viktor's daily life, his family has launched a donation campaign on Donio.cz.
