Dean H. — ALS Session Case Study

Speech and gait recorded on Day 1 (before) and Day 2 (after), testing how a single training day held up overnight.

Dean was a volunteer at the Heal ALS Conference. His speech and walking were recorded on Day 1 before the session, and again on Day 2. The two-day gap tested how a single training day held up overnight.

The recordings are below, followed by what Dean said on Day 2.

In Dean’s own words

“I could do my heels better than I could do yesterday… it’s more balance. I don’t feel like I’m losing strength.”

“It’s funny, the little goals in life you have later on.”

— Dean H., on Day 2
