Nick Balenger, a participant in our incomplete spinal cord injury study, spoke about his experience with the program at the American Physical Therapy Association’s (APTA) annual meeting in 2016. Following a swimming injury, he was initially told he would never walk again, but after participating in the program he was able to move from a using a wheelchair to walking with assistance.
