From 20 feet to 800: Jewel's comeback

Jewel enrolled in an intensive therapy program on a referral from his doctor and began seeing results almost immediately.

"He walked maybe 15–20 feet tops before having to sit down, because he felt his legs were going to give out."Melissa Dygulski, PT, DPT, NCS — recalling Jewel's first evaluation

After a few weeks of training in Aretech's ZeroG Gait and Balance System, Jewel was able to walk close to 800 feet in a single session — far beyond the goal he had set for the day.

Now the golf course is back in sight, and Jewel has set himself a new goal: to be back out with his buddies this summer. As he puts it, "the score doesn't make a difference." He just wants to play.
