His Diagnosis:Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Tukuy Pacha has been working with Gregorio since May 28, 2019.
He has a neurodegenerative and progressive disease and to complicate the situation suffered a fractured femur in several sections of the bone which forced him to be inactive and this led to depression.
Progress is satisfactory because he is more active, he collaborates in therapies and is now using walking cane before he was using an adult walker.
The hope is that he continues to increase his range of motion in his right leg, improve muscle strength generally and be more active.
An interesting fact is that after the second session he no longer referred to feeling pain and said he felt better, which suggests that he had a lot of hope and feels that he has people care about his well being.
