I know we all say it, but i cant emphasize enough about the "overdo" exercise. Back in -Jan 2013 my wife was still walking and could do some small arm movements. We listen to someone that had a very intensive training plan for her (he had success with that plan with people with different...

Hi Pat, Have you tried washing your hair while sitted on your wheelchair and using a shampoo tray? Your CALS can put water in a bucket and wash you with little by little with a glass. Never tried with my wife while on bipap, but thats how we do it now that she has a tracheo. Saludos! Lucas

My wife has the Roho QUADTRO and is quite comfortable. She also uses it her individual couch. Anyhow, she is not able to spend many hours in the wheelchair because we don`t have the TILT function (we are now getting one with this), so not sure if that`s same case with you. Saludos Lucas

Hi All, Thanks for your kind words and replies. This week i will see our physical teraphist and hope he can tell us what is the best option, since our neuro suggested the joystick but i have serious doubts about it. Our health insurance is offering us the Meyra MC2 wheelchair (Made in Germany)...

Hi All, My name is Lucas and i am from Argentina. I am usual reader of the forum but not quite so participant because of my poor english mainly. I have one question. Currently my wife has a manual wheelchair, but she can`t move her arms and we are now getting a power wheelchair. Our doubt is...
