From Crawling to Walking!
Nazir (left) crawled on hands and knees all of his life. After surgery, while in a cast he was also taught to read and write Hindi!
Three months after surgery, Nazir could completely stretch out his left leg.
Physiotherapy and proper exercises helped build up the muscles, enabling Nazir to use his leg fully for the first time in his life.
Nazir doing his first walking exercises. A special shoe and caliper was given to him to eventually move around without the need of crutches.
