Wow! That is quite incredible from where he was just a few weeks ago. A welcome positive story at these times. True Warrior.

Watch his hands and arms. Very little movement.
His leg power seems good - it is mostly proprioception that needs to recover/reprogram now.

That is truly stunning. What’s the medical view ion his recovery? It looks like his leg muscles have almost completely atrophied, so I wonder how much of the rehab is about that and getting the body used to pumping blood round in an upright position again. Fingers crossed that is the focus and a sign that the spinal injury is coming along famously.
