Peter's Place

Pete Quinn loved to run. He ran the Chicago Marathon in 2010 & Bix7 race over 25 times. On the morning of April 16th, 2011 he was training for the Chicago Marathon. Pete was excited about starting his dream job on Monday. As he walked across a street, he was hit by a speeding van running the red light. He flew 30 ft suffering a spinal cord injury. After 1 month in the hospital and 2 months in rehab, he is now home. Pete is continuing rehab daily. This blog will update you on his progress.

Walking suspended harness

This is Next Steps new walking suspended harness. This apparatus helps people walk while limiting the amount of weight they bear.

Here I am using my inner thighs to work sideways along the mat.

Since the wound on my heel is not completely healed I cannot fully walk on it. I stand daily but my doctor is worried that I might damage it through the walking motion.

Hopefully, I will be up and at it in my orthotics very soon.
