Woman Recovers From Neck Injury After Gripping Spinal Rehab
Prudence Ragsdale, 21, suffered a severe neck dislocation in a backyard stunt. Doctors say she is among about 10,000 Americans who suffer spinal cord injuries annually, with 102,000 paraplegics and 51,000 quadriplegics nationwide. After weeks of surgery, therapy, and a Stryker frame, she regains movement, walks with help, and plans a fall spinal fusion, exiting hospital on Sept 11 ten weeks after the incident.
