Sandie Murray works with her physiotherapist, Coster Veer, at a walking frame which Ms ter Veer introduced to the spinal unit. Using the two-stage frame and calipers which brace her paralysed legs, Sandie is able to use her arms to move forward in two stages on the wheeled frame. Ms ter Veer considers this exercise to be of vital importance for all paraplegic people in giving them increased confidence by assisting them to adopt a nearindependent standing position.
