Wickens claims to be paraplegic after accidentA new post from Robert Wickens on social networks following the serious accident at Pocono by Indy brought information about the extent of the injuries and the recovery process. The Canadian driver confirmed on Friday (26) that he is in a state of paraplegia, unable to make great moves from the hip down on his own.The news of Wickens brings a new panorama after the posting of another video on Monday. At the time, the Canadian posted a physical exercise with his legs and created good expectations for the public. Today, the Canadian pointed out that the activity is an incipient step in the still hard mission to return to walk."The top of my body is getting stronger day after day. I'm posting videos of small movements with my legs, but the reality is that I'm a long way from walking on my own. I've never worked so hard for anything in my life, "Wickens wrote on Twitter.Paraplegia has one of its main causes is spinal cord injury. This is precisely what happened to the pilot in Pocono, as well as fracture of the neck, fracture of the thoracic spine, fracture of the tibia and fibula of both legs, fracture of the two hands, fracture of the right forearm, elbow, four fractured ribs and a pulmonary contusion. The good news is that the paraplegic state is often reversible, justifying Robert's physical therapy.The accident happened in the final stretch of the Wickens debut season at Indy. Even unable to compete in the last three stages, the Canadian was the best rookie of 2018 and added exactly the same number of points from experienced teammate James Hinchcliffe.
