With the support of donors like you, Kessler Foundation’s research makes all the difference for people with disabilities like Ted Talis.
Ted, a retired cybersecurity executive and father of three, sustained a spinal cord injury after falling on his front steps. He found hope at the Kessler Foundation, where he joined a study investigating the MyoPro robot. The wearable robotic brace, controlled by his intentions, allowed Ted to greatly improve his upper extremity mobility, especially in his right-hand fingers. "I live a more independent life. I’m enjoying retirement and able to drive myself again," says Ted.
While these results are encouraging, more research is needed. Your generosity can propel the latest rehabilitation treatments and technologies, bringing hope and independence to individuals like Ted.
