The U.S. Open is making history this year, expanding their wheelchair division by double and holding a junior wheelchair Grand Slam event – a first for tennis’ four biggest events.
“I did not even think a Grand Slam was in question, but now, here we are. So, it really is a dream turned into reality,” tennis player Jason Keatseangsilp said.“This is a lifetime opportunity,” he said.“I got the call from the tournament director saying I got the spot,” he said.
“When I first met him he could barely speak to me because he was constantly doubled over in pain,” Dr. Scott Falci, a neurosurgeon and the founder and director of the Falci Institute for Spinal Cord Injuries at Swedish Medical Center, said. “The spinal cord can progressively deteriorate over time.” Doctors are able to record the electrical activity, see it, and destroy those areas with radiofrequency heat.That was back in 2013. Now, Keatseangsilp is back on the court.Next up is the U.S. Open wheelchair championships, which expanded this year.
Stair is an adaptive rehab specialist at NeuAbility, a rehabilitative wellness center and gym. He works with those who have spinal cord injuries and advocates for more exposure and education in this realm at the university level.
