This was Matt's first test in Aurora. They taped up his gym shorts and video taped him walking and jogging. The lady at the end is the Physical Therapist that worked with Matt. She had a lot of stories to tell!
Here the Physical Therapist and her aid are attaching all the sensors to Matt. Tough job for a young man to sit there in his gym shorts and have two women sticking things on him!! They were very nice there.
After they had all the sensors and things on, they had to wrap him up in two colors of coban. He picked pink and purple. Only a real man can wear pink and purple!!!
This is the "brain" he had to wear. All of the sensors plugged into here where they got power and sent the transmissions through.
Here he is after he is all hooked up. He had to walk up and down the red line several times. Partway down the line was a black section that when he walked on it took imprints of his feet, how they touch the ground, pressure and I'm not sure what all. But they had to keep the cords out of the way. Doesn't he remind you of a Christmas tree with the lights on him!
Here is the tired boy on the way home. I wasn't driving and taking pictures!! Teresa drove us out there. Thank you so much Teresa!
It will take about a month to get the results back. There are a lot of doctors who get together every so often to look at all of the tests that have been done. They each review all the data, give their results and it is all compiled to give to our doctor.
After being Aurora it reminded me of one thing in particular, the city is nice to visit, but I am glad I live in Southwest Nebraska!!
