Amy Peeters crashed while training in Calpe, Spain in December.

Peeters suffered a severe brain injury as a result of the crash and has been unconscious since the accident, but her condition is now changing, according to an official medical update from SD Worx released on Thursday.

"Amy Peters' condition has changed. She is conscious. This means she can communicate slightly non-verbally. Amy is now able to recognize people, understand what is being said, and perform more tasks," SD Walks wrote in a medical update.

"Doctors are still unable to say what symptoms and abilities Amy Peters will have left as a result of her brain injury.

Pieters, the Dutch champion, was training with the national track team in Spain on December 23 when she had an accident and lost consciousness.

He was airlifted to a hospital in Alicante, where doctors performed surgery to remove pressure from his brain, putting him into a medically induced coma.

She was then flown from Spain to a Dutch hospital by a specialized Eurocross team on January 6. At that time, SD Worx confirmed that she was breathing independently, that the sedatives were being phased out, and that her condition was stable but unchanged.

SD Worx confirmed that at the end of January, Pieters was transferred from the intensive care unit to the inpatient ward where she continued her treatment and recovery under the care of Professor Wilko Peul, a neurosurgeon and expert in neurotrauma.

"Since mid-February, Amy Peters has been undergoing a specialized intensive neurorehabilitation program at one of the member facilities of the EENnacoma network. This facility is working toward an appropriate continuum of rehabilitation," SD Walks wrote in a medical update.

"The family appreciates the tremendous sympathy and asks that the privacy of all involved be respected."
