Getting out of the house

Jimmy is already walking independently around the house; working on his confidence, stamina and balance.

As he improves he progresses to walking outside with the therapists. His rehabilitation programme includes using his external steps, kerbs and walking on uneven pavements. His family are keen to support him and walk with him most days.

Gradually he is able to walk further and is confident enough to walk to the local shops safely and independently. He is keen to use public transport and in particular Jimmy would like to use a bus.
