I should makea has no children which makes her feel worthless and incomplete. In a society that expects them to bear children this is a burden many married childless women in niger suffer from a wife is only fully accepted upon motherhood. A very personal film about the suffering of childless women in niger. Blistery starting january fourteenth on t w. I know schmidt just confined to a wheelchair three years ago a botched hepatitis vaccination paralyzed both her legs i know because twenty four years old and shes determined to learn to walk again with the help of an exoskeleton but so far only a few paraplegics in germany have made their dream of walking again come true. And. I know schmidt and your partner look us capa have become experts on exoskeletons a new kind look at us are intrigued by these mechanisms that can help some people walk again the couple spends hours doing research online. Even though thats fine you cant tell if youre wearing black. Its like something out of a star wars movie. But he has never to use crutches. You know look at this. And thats why dont you just nikki wearing that re walk. The direct biopic the exile together. From the nukes favorite model is made by re walk tomorrow shell try it out for the first time she has high hopes for what this exoskeleton can do not only for self but also for her relationship with us. They met two years ago. As close as they move us now id love to be able to see him at eye level so im steve weve only known each other sitting and standing. Because you know he sometimes he lifts me out of my wheelchair. I cant stand on my own and he cant hold me up for very long. I just want to be able to stand up and look at him directly in the eyes. I knew could also like to go shopping on our own without having to rely on others. Or how many sex. Youre the cook id say six. Would be do most of their shopping at this organic supermarket in their hometown near frankfurt it might be a bit more expensive but the aisles are especially wide and even then a nuke soon reaches her limits. When you see something thats high up on the shelf i cant reach it. Ive tried i could fall i cant do much shopping on my own. I know copes that are next to a skeleton will make her life easier for example she could deal with people if i level now and she often feels that people treat her like a child simply because shes you know wheelchair. Before she was paralyzed a nuke loved to cook now all she can do is help blue cross that said yes we did hes done that i was told we divide the work load it up so i do the slicing and locust does the fun stuff. I know who doesnt think shell get much sleep tonight shes too excited about tomorrows first practice run with the exoskeleton. Pieces politically. Ill give him a human who sign as i kneel to meet people at eye level theyre not sitting down but theyre getting roaming option because paul right now people talk over my head even when they bend down to meet me. And i even as i mean to me id love to stand at the same height as others and walk on my own i cant even describe how great that would be. If come on the gun for. The next morning a new arrives in her specially equipped car for physical therapy her first test with the exoskeleton is just minutes away. I know knows that the new mechanism wont fully replace her wheelchair. Still shes excited at the prospect of being able to stand on her own two feet again for the first time in three years. And she bought a pair of larger shoes just for todays test because the exoskeleton takes up extra room at the soles of her feet but slipping into the high tech machine is harder than it looks. If ill give you hand the im just pull it i wont break called a little. It takes several minutes to fit three walk properly for. The. New guys can hardly wait to see a nuke standing on her own two feet. From the trainer explains how to operate the mechanism just started she has to lean forward. When she leans back and stops it will be enjoyable to swing forward move the supports forward. Then finally a nuke takes her first steps. You. Lean forward and back it sounds easy but in practice its pretty difficult and it wears you out thats what they must do stuff they can ive got spasms in my right leg and the walking is making it a little worse. I need to take a break. Over the supports but catch yourself. Some water. Please i know because exhausted look us is stunned young one meter seventy is taller and you think. Yeah after a short break the training continues come as well that was better right yeah. Now a new can really enjoy walking her trainer is impressed that she learned so quickly. Criticized him she worked with the system and did a good job of reacting to all the data that came in and she was quick to find her center of gravity was that usually takes three or four sessions. Even talk to todd and i start im so relieved and happy i cant stop smiling its always been about ourselves but im also glad that the session is over im staying on the last few steps really wore me out on the clock does not want to leave and i got really confused with leaning forward and into the turn but im definitely looking forward to next time. The nukes Insurance Company will decide whether there will be a next time the re walk representative tells her that the approval procedure can take time. The exoskeleton costs over ninety thousand euros so far only twenty three re walks have been authorized in germany and the patients often had to wait several years to get one. Six months later a new andrew connoisseur visiting a trade fair for physical rehab products a nuke will demonstrate how the real walk mechanism works but the Insurance Company has denied her request for her own exoskeleton. That went up about myself that i expected that but i was still disappointed they said i had a wheelchair to compensate for disability and could do various standing exercises so i couldnt justify the cost of every walk. We walk up to one of. Us how steve but my doctors and i disagree with that assessment might have suggested we walk as its experts say walking is the best therapy for wheelchair bound patients especially paraplegics if you rest you rust. Then id like to see those insurance people sit in a wheelchair for just a week and then they can stand up and sit back down on done id like them to tell me how it feels as if this is the un for. A nuke is frustrated but re walks head of marketing john fried has provide some comfort. But i new goals and the goal some insurers now realize that this isnt just a gimmick its every day reality a law thats nearly so i think eventually by more and more of them will approve coverage. When all he says is with all. This during the presentation a nuke sees what life could be like if she stays with the Training Program this man has been paralyzed for years by now even stairs are no longer an obstacle. I know quantz to be able to walk like that too has. Soon as possible. But known in front of a big crowd shes overcome by a case of nerves. Believe me if i dont feel as safe in this mechanism as i did in the original. With my partner its a case of mind over matter. Isnt completed on any of the people here are really good at using it. And i wouldnt want to trip or anything i was happy that i could just stand up if im spamming i welcome all. The host asks a new quote she do first if she had her own exoskeleton take a walk with my dog and my boyfriend in. This instance we sure hope that happens thank you for coming today. Its almost christmas the letters from her Insurance Company and local government officials now fill several binders but they still havent given their approval theyre not because you think the district accused in concludes that this device is nonessential. Just. Because of poor blue i think the Insurance Company is just trying to put off making expensive investments for as long as possible. Because after two years and countless requests that have been killed i had patients lose interest in darfur yet. Done in a car or they simply might not need something expensive like that anymore. But im. New to this. But a new grief uses to give up shes just filed her third appeal with the Insurance Company but wading through all this red tape has taken its toll on her. He maketh me in five five ninth local police in t. V. I might not appear desperate but inside i have to admit that i am like this one time that. Lights i. D. C. About at the same time i see that others eventually get a real walk. And that gives me hope now weve been i think im just too optimistic to give up on Something Like this i mean you just have to keep on hoping this will happen is for. After all my nukes dream of walking with her dog and boyfriend is bound to come true sooner or later. So. Its just. We showed it and still clicked it. Max on facebook.
