I was born with spina bifida. Doctors told my family I would never walk. I’m 18 now. Two Grand Slam titles. Competing against grown men who have been playing professionally longer than I’ve been alive. The titles are cool. But honestly that’s not even the point. The point is I never let that diagnosis write my story. That was always going to be my job. If you’re going through something right now that feels like it has already decided your future, I promise you it hasn’t. The condition doesn’t get to determine the outcome. You do. Follow me if you want to come along on the journey. #tennis #spinabifida #motivational

For all my new friends here, Hi! My name is Kaylee, but you can call me Slaylee. 💕 I’m a wheelchair dancer living between New York and Los Angeles. I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, spina bifida, and POTS—and I’m here to show you that disability doesn’t mean you have to stop dancing, dreaming, or taking up space. I’m wheelie grateful you’re here 🖤

Rocker-bottom foot (congenital vertical talus) 🦶🏼 is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by a prominent, rigid convex sole and a prominent, rounded heel. As shown in the video, the foot bends downward in the middle, resembling the curved rocker of a rocking chair. Pathologically, the talus bone is vertically displaced, forcing the navicular bone to dislocate dorsally onto the talar neck. Seen in: 1. Edwards Syndrome (Trisomy 18): 🧬 The classic, high-yield genetic association, often appearing alongside microcephaly, low-set ears, and clenched fists with overlapping fingers. 2. Patau Syndrome (Trisomy 13): 🔬 Another major chromosomal abnormality associated with severe structural and neurological defects. 3. Neuromuscular Conditions: 🧠 Conditions like spina bifida or arthrogryposis that cause severe intrauterine muscle imbalances. 4. Isolated Congenital Vertical Talus: 🦶 Discovered as an isolated, non-syndromic structural deformity at birth.#internalmedicine #paediatrics #neurology #cardiology #ecg

Mut kennt keine Grenzen 💪✨ Für die aktuelle Ausgabe von @yointv, produziert von @inclumedia, war @kim.moquenco bei uns in der Jochen Schweizer Arena zu Gast. In verschiedenen Challenges hat sie gezeigt, wie viel möglich ist, wenn man sich auf neue Erfahrungen einlässt und den Mut hat, die eigene Komfortzone zu verlassen. Kim lebt mit Spina Bifida, einer angeborenen Fehlbildung der Wirbelsäule. Umso beeindruckender ist die Offenheit und Entschlossenheit, mit der sie sich neuen Herausforderungen stellt und andere Menschen inspiriert. Genau darum geht es bei echter Inklusion: Chancen schaffen, Barrieren abbauen und Erlebnisse ermöglichen, die verbinden. ✨ 📺 Ausstrahlungstermine: • Samstag, 13.06.2026 | 12:00 Uhr | Sport1 • Dienstag, 16.06.2026 | 07:00 Uhr | Sport1 • Donnerstag, 18.06.2026 | 01:00 Uhr | Sport1 • Donnerstag, 18.06.2026 | 15:30 Uhr | münchen.tv • Sonntag, 21.06.2026 | 11:30 Uhr & 16:30 Uhr | münchen.tv ▶️ Die Sendung ist ab der Erstausstrahlung auch in der YouTube-Mediathek verfügbar: https://youtu.be/4smmII8KWLU Viel Spaß beim Zuschauen! 🎬 #JochenSchweizerArena

📝👇Foot & Ankle Orthoses (FO & AFO) with Functions 🦶 ✅ Foot Orthosis (FO) • Supports the arch of the foot ✓ Redistributes plantar pressure ✓ Corrects foot alignment ✓ Reduces pain during standing and walking ✅ Soft Foot Orthosis Function: Shock absorption, pressure relief, and comfort. ✅ Rigid Foot Orthosis Function: Controls excessive foot motion and improves biomechanical alignment. ✅ Semi-Rigid Foot Orthosis Function: Provides both support and flexibility during gait. Types of Ankle-Foot Orthosis (AFO) ✅ Solid AFO Function: Maximum ankle stability; prevents plantarflexion and dorsiflexion. ✅ Posterior Leaf Spring (PLS) AFO Function: Assists dorsiflexion during swing phase; commonly used for foot drop. ✅ Hinged (Articulated) AFO Function: Allows controlled ankle movement while providing mediolateral stability. ✅ Ground Reaction AFO (GRAFO) Function: Enhances knee extension during stance phase and improves gait efficiency. ✅ Dynamic AFO Function: Assists movement while maintaining stability and energy return. ✅ Carbon Fiber AFO Function: Lightweight orthosis that stores and releases energy during walking. ✅ Supramalleolar Orthosis (SMO) Function: Controls mediolateral instability of the foot and ankle while allowing ankle motion. 💡 Clinical Uses: Foot drop, stroke, cerebral palsy, nerve injuries, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, and gait abnormalities. #Orthosis#viral #physiotherapy #rehabilitation #likesforlike

Pregnant women should eat choline because it's crucial for the healthy development of the baby, especially the brain and nervous system. Here’s why it matters: 🧠 Brain Development Choline is vital for fetal brain development. It helps build cell membranes and supports the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter important for memory and mood. 🔄 Neural Tube Closure Just like folate, choline helps prevent neural tube defects (like spina bifida) during early pregnancy by supporting proper cell division and DNA synthesis. 👶 Long-Term Cognitive Benefits Some studies suggest that babies born to mothers with higher choline intake during pregnancy may have better cognitive function and memory later in life. ⚖️ Placental Function Choline helps the placenta function properly, ensuring nutrients are delivered efficiently to the baby. 🛡 Reduces Risk of Complications It may also help reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia, a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure. How Much Choline Do Pregnant Women Need? - Recommended: 450 mg/day - Many prenatal vitamins don’t include enough choline, so dietary sources are important. Good Food Sources: - Eggs (especially the yolk!) - Beef and chicken liver - Salmon - Milk - Soybeans - Brussels sprouts and broccoli (less, but helpful) Speaker: @foundmyfitness Credits: @chriswillx #pregnancy #pregnanywomen #choline #babyshower #nutrition

I was born with spina bifida. Doctors told my family I would never walk. I’m 18 now and I’m a professional wheelchair tennis player with two Grand Slam titles. Here’s exactly how I did it. 1. I found my thing. A wheelchair tennis clinic in Indian Wells. Something just clicked and I knew. 2. I made the decision. In 2024 I went fully professional. No halfway. All in. 3. I got the right people around me. Your environment is everything. The people in your corner will make or break you. 4. I stopped waiting for perfect. The circumstances were never going to line up perfectly for me. They won’t for you either. You just go anyway. Within two years of going fully professional I won the US Open and the Australian Open. Find your thing. Make the decision. Get your people. Stop waiting. Follow me if you want to come along on the journey. #tennis #tennisplayer #tennislife #paralympics #motivational

⭐️ Title: Grey’s Anatomy (Season 16, Episodes 5 “Breathe Again” & 6 “Whistlin’ Past the Graveyard”) ⭐️ Rating: TV-14 🎭 Genre: Medical Drama 👀 Where to watching: Netflix, Hulu, ABC, Disney+ (availability varies by region) 📖 Summary: Dr. Meredith Grey brings her daughter Zola into the hospital after she experiences vomiting and headaches. Dr. Koracick determines that Zola has enlarged ventricles and needs an emergency shunt revision for her spina bifida. Because Meredith refuses to leave her daughter’s side during the surgery, she misses a mandatory court appearance related to her previous insurance fraud charge. As a consequence, the judge sentences Meredith to make up her missed community service hours in jail. While incarcerated, she meets Paula, a mother working two jobs who was arrested after leaving her kids home alone to work her graveyard shift when her childcare fell through. 🔑 Keywords: Grey’s Anatomy, Meredith Grey, Zola Shepherd, Spina Bifida, Shunt Revision, Medical Drama, Ellen Pompeo, Court, Inmate, Motherhood . . . #movielover #viralreel #movietime🎬 #moviescenes #explorepage✨

Abigail’s spina bifida was diagnosed before birth, and thanks to CHLA’s Fetal-Maternal Center, her mother, Gilda, became the first person in the western U.S. to undergo in-utero fetoscopic spina bifida repair surgery. Children with spina bifida often face mobility challenges, but this minimally invasive prenatal surgery can double their chances of walking independently. Today, at age 6, Abigail not only walks, she zips around on her scooter! Six years after pioneering the procedure on the West Coast, the team is marking a major milestone: its 100th fetoscopic surgery for open spina bifida. Read more about how far CHLA has come in advancing spina bifida treatment at the link in our bio.
