You learn and build your upper body up. Some doors you can pull yourself, some you never let go and use it to propel one side. 12yrs and counting. FIRST Overlooked Rule is Great a GOOD MANUAL Chair. Quickie, Colours, TIlite. You will kill yourself on what local medical supply companies call a wheelchiar. Don't waste your money no matter how cheap it is. 50lb wheelchair is worthless even for health and fit. Just getting into the trunk of a car is a task for anyone.
this video rocks....we were watching para-olympic wheelchair races with my 6 year old who has CP and uses a power chair currently for long distance..I am trying to encourage manual use...he got a kick out of this video...way to kick their ass Liz....
That's the exact reason we wanted to put this video up. Liz can smoke us all day long in her manual chair, and she can go anywhere. Here is something to look into for your son. Liz's chair is what is called manual assist (turned off in this video). You have to push some but it helps. She can go up hills with the flick of a wrist, or shut it off and save the battery if she is at work or school or home. It sounds like it could help your son as you mention he uses the power chair for long distance.
thank you so much for postin...i'm always telling my kids, that they'd get what ever alot faster if they went and got it..for example, if i needed something from car, my son can get it for me in like 10 seconds,, but if i went to go get, it would take me atleast 2 min to get there and back..thanks for postin video..awesome..
As a part-time wheelchair user, I usually tell people it's really not that hard. But then a video like this pops up and suddenly I realize that for those who aren't used to it, it really *is* "that hard."
Yeah, I can walk, but I have nerve problems that make long distances difficult/painful, so I tend to use a chair whenever I anticipate an overly active day.
part time wheelchair user..unless your in chair full fukin time you have no right tellin anyone how easy it is to get around in chair..that's fukin dumb.."part time wheelchair user"..

That chair seems to have rather soft suspension slowing him down with his bad pushing technique
