Manual Wheelchairs Any C5 complete quadriplegics (SCI) use power assist manual wheelchairs?
If so, I was wondering if they are beneficial for a C5 quad, I am 2 yrs post injury and have always used a powerchair, a straight manual chair so far has not been very practical for me. My issues are I have are zero triceps, no wrist extension, and no hand/finger function. I have heard about the power-assist manual chairs and they look pretty cool. Any advice would be great.
if you have no use of your hands and finger you would not be able to control the movement of the wheel chair. power wheel chair has controll that you have to use with your hand, unless they have one thats different from the one i was going to order for my sister,she have no use of her hand, and it was hard for us to use the controll for her. but i think they have chairs that can be controlled by the mouth with some kind of devise .
