When Brianna was six-years-old, she sustained a severe spinal cord injury in a car accident that left her a full quadriplegic with limited head and neck movement, and paralysis in her arms, torso and legs. Brianna began attending physical therapy at The Recovery Project in July 2006, and now at 12 years old, she visits the clinic two to three times per week.
Throughout the years, Brianna and Tim have tried a vast variety of techniques and protocol, such as electrical stimulation, movement control, balancing, positioning, standing with support, weight bearing and more. As a result of the continued practice, Brianna has built up enough muscle to hold her head up on her own and to control her electric wheelchair.
