I am a quadriplegic who sustained a spinal cord injury at level C5/6 in a motor vehicle accident in 1985. I have been inspired to utilize my three decades of experience as a quadriplegic to help others with spinal cord injuries improve their quality of life.

    Thank you for your videos. I have been in a manual wheelchair for a month now, and was in a walker with a seat a month before that. I just started looking for videos on YouTube dealing with this. You videos are informative. I have had problems getting my rump over the wheel too. The board is a great idea. I have just been throwing my torso onto the bed and grabbing the other side of the mattress and pulling myself up.

    C6 incomplete, 6 months in. Honestly, that you do this with no triceps, using a manual.. Nevermind the fact that it looks like you live alone, so who knows what else you accomplish.. This was really inspiring for me and I needed to see it, because it's easy to think I won't be able to do most anything at this point in my life, let alone have my own place.. You even had a great attitude. Thanks for the video.
