  • I worked with PTs/OTs a ton to figure it all out & yeah, it occasionally still goes wrong. I kept catching my thumb-nails on the locks & bouncing my hands off them, resulting in cuts, scrapes & even losing nails. Ick! I ditched the brakes & have discovered that the only time I really find myself wanting them is either on a hill or @ a restaurant without a level floor. On hills, I will turn my chair perpendicular. At restaurants, a couple of sugar packs behind my tires is usually enough!

  • I have been in a chair for 7years (t-3 para) and just got a service dog. Could you post a video of your dog retrieving your chair? My dog is so smart, too smart for my own good sometimes. I have been trying to get her to fetch the chair by the calf strap with a small piece of rope tied to it. She does ok but seeing another way would give me some more ideas. By the way I am so jealous at how easy you get back in the chair. I need stronger arms an a smaller gut. Thanks!

  • Thanks for the video, it's great when people share how they do things. Everybody is different and the more ways to transfer a person knows about the more options they have. You have me curious about not using the wheel-locks on my chair. I can use my legs but I've still had that chair ride out under me and I didn't like it a bit ;-)

    Always learning. Thanks for showing how you do it. :-)
