Sam's New RGOs
This new brace is called a Reciprocating Gait Orthosis (RGO).
It has a reciprocating bar across the back that helps Sam walk
using weight shifting and a small amount of muscle work.
This was only the first day, and the adults were doing the work to make the RGOs work,
but within a week Sam had figure out the step, shift, lean pattern to take steps.
Now he's learning to hold onto a walker and refining his weight shifts.
Mom's attempting to get the hang of this too.
He enjoys being in close range of all the buttons,
rather than reaching from a walker or a stander.
