After a long time, details of Schumacher's condition are published: He's like a plant, wakes up but doesn't know

The creative state means when a person is smart but does not know. He can open his eyes, wake up, sleep at constant intervals, have basic reflexes (such as opening his eyes when he hears the noise or can pull his hand away when he's firmly squeezed).

Germany suffered serious brain damage in an accident while skiing in the French Alps in 2013, and since then, its condition has been constantly monitored by family and doctors, Periscope broadcasts.

Last week, former Ferrari chief said Schumacher was still struggling to improve, but Rieder, who is not personally linked to Schumacher, has offered his prognosis.

Speaking of a documentary on HINA TMC, he said: ” I think he's in a vegetative state, which means he's awake but he doesn't answer.

He breathes, his heart beats, he can even wake up and take baby steps, but no more.

I think this is the maximum for him. Is there any chance we could see him again as he was before the accident? I really don't think so. ”

It is unknown in Rider that he has ever personally visited Schumacher or on what information he is basing his opinion. /Periscope. com/
