Tianjin, Dec. 2 (Xinhua) -- At the home of disabled Liu Baochun, he skillfully put on his clothes and pants, slowly moved to the side of the bed, and sat in a wheelchair with his hands supporting his bodyAfter professional training, he has a certain degree of self-care ability.
Five years ago, Liu Baochun suffered a spinal cord injury resulting in high paraplegia. Since then, the "little things" such as going to the toilet and getting dressed have become extremely difficult for him, "I need someone to take care of everything, and I often feel that I am useless." Liu Baochun said.
Wang Yi, executive vice president and secretary general of Tianjin Welfare Association for the Disabled, said that as a serious disabling disease, spinal cord injury has a huge impact on patients' physiological, psychological, social relations and careers. "Most of the patients are accompanied by irreversible paraplegia and need to be carried out for life*** Wang Yi said.
In May this year, Tianjin held the first training camp for the reconstruction of spinal cord injury patients, and Liu Baochun and a number of spinal cord injury patients conducted a 15-day professional training. "There are not only physical training and mental health guidance, but also practical courses such as displacement, obstacle passing, and cooking that are combined with the reality of life, and I have learned knowledge, mastered skills, and made a lot of friends, which is very happy. Liu Baochun said.
After analyzing and comparing the five quantifiable indicators of the trainees, such as 'continuous sitting time', 'lung capacity index' and 'ability to lift weights with both hands', we found that all indicators were improved after training. Liu Hanwen, chairman of the Tianjin Association of the Physically Handicapped, said.
Like Liu Baochun, 50-year-old Yang Huijun is also a student of this training camp. After 15 days of Xi training, her biggest takeaway is that she can cook at home. In the kitchen, she sat in a wheelchair facing the stove, put the cutting board on her lap to chop vegetables and prepare vegetables, and then skillfully waved the spatula with her right arm, and in a short time, a fragrant cabbage stewed tofu came out of the pot.
After participating in the training, I have improved all my life skills, especially the training of cooking, dressing, and transferring, which has reduced the burden on my family. "For patients with spinal cord injury, the greatest wish is to master as many life skills as possible, and the more we do, the less affected the family will be." ”
