Multiple Sclerosis: Standing 20x Longer

How long has it been since you’ve stood like this? 4 years After years of progressive decline, Lorraine spends 95% of the time seated or in a wheelchair. One of the main goals was to help Lorraine stand - not only did they achieve this but she stood for 20x longer than she has in 4 years! At first, they start with Luke’s support - holding both hands while Lorraine learns to engage the muscles correctly again. With practice, they are able to shift from the weaker side to the stronger side - this is important for Multiple Sclerosis rehab as very often one side is impacted more than the other and clients learn to bias the side with better communication. They are then able to establish a more even weight distribution which helps Lorraine stay stable and avoid hyperextending. Normally, Lorraine can stand for around 15 seconds to transfer or while holding onto something so it is an amazing achievement to stand for over 5 minutes!
