Leg Wheelchair Exercises
Why do most people assume Wiccans must be "nice people"? Read on..?
A (now ex) friend of mine in a wheelchair was insulting me, different insults. And he wasn't joking, he was being mean. We got into a huge fight about what Wicca really is. The more he called me names, the more angry I got. So I said to him "Well now I need to go take a *WALK*, exercise my *LEGS*, so stiff from *STANDING* too much at work!" And he got mad and said "See what I mean? Wiccans should never make fun of handicapped people!"
Who was wrong and who was right? If I'm wrong, why must I take that crap from him, just because I'm Wiccan?
Actually you're wrong. He's Wiccan too. He just said I'm doing it all wrong. And I'm 1/2 deaf in my left ear. And I have 2 metal rods on my spine. So I'm also a little bit handicapped.
That was for Screaming ^
Actually it is not the religion that is nice or not, it is those who practice it. That is my gripe about Christians (and some Wicca as well as other beliefs) when they speak of magic or Tarot or even Ouija boards! These are all just tools just as Wicca is just a religion/spirituality. Neither are good or bad, it is how they are used that make them thus. In a way you were wrong to rise up to his baiting. Wicca or not, to be angry is natural, but to turn and walk away instead of fighting makes the one who leaves a better person since you would not have had to gone down to his level, also since I do not know the gist of the conversation (I was not privy to it) I can't really say who is right or who is wrong. All I can say is that it was bad that it turned out the way it did and I am sorry you are now X friends....

Range of Motion for Quads & Para's Legs.m4v
Which leg muscles am I exercising by doing this? (P.T. help, please)?
(This question is keyed toward Physical Therapists.)
I am a single-leg B.K. amputee for 33 years. Whenever my limb or prosthesis is "unusable" (in the shop or else) I normally use my wheelchair anywhere I go. Whenever I do "roll" around, rather than using my hands to PUSH my wheelchair, I use my good leg by "scooting" me from place to place.
Which leg muscles am I using to (so) push me around in my wheelchair? My chair is high enough from off the ground to use only my knee-flection, so I know I am not using my quadriceps when I am in my wheelchair.
And at times my knee joint begins feeling numb when I "scoot" long distances in my wheelchair because of this action. - Is this SAFE to continue or should I use a MOTORIZED wheelchair to get around when I need it?
I do try to POWER-WALK at my local shopping mall for exercise and stress relief when I am physically able. Should I continue this routine (although I know I am doing only 1/2 when I am 1/2-mobile)?
Assuming you are scooting forward (and not pushing backwards), you are using your hamstrings and/or gastroc (calf muscle).
It's hard to tell about your "numb" feeling...especially if it's just in in the knee which is not consistent with a neurogenic or vascular pattern (as numbness usually indicates this or circulation).
If the numbness is really a fatigue, it's OK to push yourself to fatigue, but you should recover after some rest. If you are having pain or the numbness is radiating up or down the leg, then you may need to back off. I would switch between hand pushing and leg scooting. You'll loose a lot of endurance if you use a powerchair...certainly many times they are needed, but there is a trade off for using it.
