Update 1 Aug. 2008 written by Hugues-Raphaël:
- I've come since
Oct. 2007, it's my fifth set of sessions. My forth set of sessions with
more intense doses of laser left me much tired and it took me some time to
recover.
-
I have more strength in my lower limbs; I can walk if two persons
assist me or in the parallel bars.
- Before I could take 15-16 steps, now I can take up to 50-60 steps.
- I can feel better hot or cold in my hands
Update 7 Jan.

- Less pain in my neck
- Transfers are easier (I can push more on my legs)
- I get tired less quickly; my overall condition gets better
- I can do more exercises with my physio, more walking
- Less spasticity

- More strength in my legs ==> transfers are easier
- It's easier to go from a sitting position (in my wheelchair) to a
standing position; when "warmed up", I can do it all by myself
- I can now have lunch sitting on a normal chair
