Is Dennis Prager Still Paralyzed Below The Neck?

Grok: Yes, according to the most recent updates, Dennis Prager remains paralyzed below the neck due to an “incomplete” spinal cord injury at the C3 and C4 levels from a fall in November 2024. His son, David Prager, noted in May 2025 that while Prager is making progress in other areas, such as breathing and speaking, he is still unable to move below the shoulders. However, the “incomplete” nature of the injury suggests potential for some neural recovery, and he is undergoing aggressive rehabilitation at a specialized facility.

Injury and Initial Recovery: Prager suffered an “incomplete” spinal cord injury at the C3 and C4 levels, which affected his diaphragm and left him paralyzed below the shoulders. There was no brain injury, and his cognitive functions remain intact. He was hospitalized for several weeks, with a focus on regaining breathing function, and showed promising incremental improvements.
