Beyond the Clinic: Treatment Returns Traumatic Brain Injury Patients to the Great Outdoors
11/8/2011
(Reprinted from the Grand Rapids Press) At the age of 24, Keith Knuth suffered a traumatic brain injury that significantly affected his mobility and left him dependent on a wheelchair.
Like many Michigan residents, Knuth was an avid hunter and all around sportsman prior to his accident, but his injuries made him wonder whether he would ever pursue his hobby again.
Six months into his rehabilitation, Knuth was introduced to Scott Fletcher and the Outdoor Recreation Program at Hope Network. The program offers people who have limitations after severe accident or injury an opportunity to relearn skills that will allow them to continue participating in outdoor activities.

From the Holland Sentinel | Sitting in a wheelchair next to his mother at Mary Free Bed, Jon Turner was at the lowest point in his recovery from the crash.

The Holland native who now lives in Grandville shifted his focus to the man who was learning how to walk again.

That man had fallen about three feet from a step stool and landed on his neck, while Turner had been involved in a car wreck so powerful it hurled the engine block 10 feet away.
