Re: Mod Quad and other corrective surgeries
Hi Becky,
I had the "Mod Quad" and did not have the great results that others had. All five of my nerves are damaged unlike some of the other adults. Do your homework first

Re: Adult MOD QUAD/secondary surgery???
<r>It sounds like your doing amazing Suzy, that's awesome! I'm glad the surgery worked for you. But at the end of the day, not all of us are blessed with your disability, you have one damaged nerve, some of us have more then that. Amy, get your MRI and EMG and please take your time in making this bi...

Re: Adult MOD QUAD/secondary surgery???
<t>Exactly what Rachel said......everyone is different. I think it just depends on how damaged your nerves are. I had the surgery in March and really haven't seen much difference. I was hoping to be able to lift my arm above my head, hasn't happened. Passively, I'm loose but really haven't gained an...

Re: AGE LIMIT FOR MOD QUAD
Hello,
I had surgery in March 2005 and I'm 33. Passively, I have gained. Actively, not much yet BUT I haven't used my limb in 33 years so I cannot expect overnight miracles, especially with the servere damage I have.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
