(Guest)

I would like to know more about LOPES Rehabilitation. My son was 26 years old when he suffered a severe brain injury and a stroke to the right side of his head. He is doing very well except he can no see now and still cannot walk. We have a second step to help him stand up with but he does not know how to take a step. He is 6'5" and weighs 290 lbs it is very difficult to help pick up his size 15 shoe. I am his mother and I have a helper for a few hours each day but I need Prof. help.
