Luke Louden was told he may never be able to walk again after a horror crash in 2020.
A dad who was told he may never be able to walk again after a horror crash in 2020 now dreams of walking his daughters down the aisle thanks to ground-breaking therapy at the Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injuries Unit in Glasgow.
“Early in my therapy, I put so much work in and didn’t see any return, and I could feel my hope just draining away. To make things worse, it was in the middle of lockdown, and I couldn’t see my family for months. That was really hard.” “I’d love to keep improving but, to be honest, if I couldn’t achieve any more I’d be happy the way I am. Just to be able to stand, even if it’s with a frame, is amazing.
The determined dad explained: “They have kept me going – especially my wife. I don’t know how I would have managed without her. I’ve had some really dark times, but now I can look forward with real hope. “Now we can achieve so much more. We only need one physio to support a patient using ZeroG, and the patient can do a lot more before becoming too tired. The system also allows us to be more creative with the activities we undertake, which means the patient gets more enjoyment and satisfaction while also seeing additional benefit.
