Ross Sutton, Australia’s first Paralympic gold medallist, undergoes rehab at Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, on his second day out of bed, 13 weeks following the light plane crash that left him with paraplegia and lucky to be alive. Active, early physical rehabilitation was part of the regimen at RNSH, following the model developed by Ludwig Guttmann at Stoke Mandeville.
