A shift from ASIA A to ASIA C in just 35 days 🚀 Julia’s story shows how advanced spinal cord injury treatment can rewrite expectations.If you’re unfamiliar with the ASIA scale, ASIA A means no motor or sensory function below the injury. A diagnosis often delivered with the words “you’ll never walk again.”
Moving to ASIA C means motor function has returned below the injury level, even if muscles remain weak. Julia’s results are part of our Patient Stories series, where we share detailed clinical data directly from our medical team, to give an inside look at treatment here at Verita Neuro. Julia, from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, sustained a T6–T7 complete spinal cord injury in a car accident in July 2023. She came to Verita Neuro in Thailand 🇹🇭 for Epidural Stimulation surgery, advanced neuroregenerative protocols, and 116 hours of device mapping and physical therapy.
Here’s what changed during her 35 days of treatment:
💪 Muscle strength: Key muscle groups, including hip flexors and knee muscles, improved from 0 (complete paralysis) to 4, meaning she can now move against resistance. Overall, her motor function is rated at 90%.
🧍♀️ Mobility: Julia can now stand and take supported steps and perform transfers with minimal assistance.
🪑 Balance & coordination: Sitting balance improved from poor to good, standing balance returned, and motor coordination is now rated “good.”
🧠 Sensory & autonomic: Proprioception has returned and her body temperature regulation has improved. Sensory function is rated at 60% and autonomic at 100%.
