Quadriplegic Car Transfer [How to, Independent]

[@dlbrittain1976]

that was a very good demo..there is no wrong way ....just an easier way.....I had read somewhere that by crossing the legs, helps prevent leg spasms from hitting the gas/brake pedels...good job Ben :)

[@AdaptToPerform]

Definitely no wrong way to do it! Just some ways are easier on the shoulders. I have a foot plate in which stops me from hitting the pedals but cross legged I'm far more stable 😊

Hey Ben hope you well, awesome video you make it look so simple .. Absolutely Love the car and the scenary looks great as well.

We all seem to do this in a slightly different way... whichever is easiest for us is the best way..and of course it is different and a fair bit easier if we have a passenger, and they don't mind shoving our chair in the back of the car for us!... (Phil - Lancashire)

Best transfer video I've see to date. How do you keep yourself from falling forwards or slipping back from the edge of the seat, when transferring out?

[@AdaptToPerform]

Good question I forgot to mention that I hold onto the steering wheel often. Trying to keep 3 points of contact where I can 😊

What are those loops you were talking about with taking the wheels off of the wheelchair? I wanted the wheels with the lever to release them but unfortunately that's not what they gave me. I cannot get my wheels off easily and am looking for a way to make it easier.

[@AdaptToPerform]

This is mine but they might not fit every chair as some axles are different sizes www.quickie-wheelchairs.com/Wheelchair-Parts-Accessories/Assorted-Wheelchair-Parts/Wheels-Hand-Rims-Axles/Wheelchair-Axles/Quad-Quick-Release-Axle/34379p

Hello, I've been watching your videos for a few months now and you have definitely motivated to do more for myself. I myself am a paraplegic, and have been trying to get more independent each day. I want to start driving again, I really miss it, and I was wondering how to go about with being able to drive? What all steps do I need to take?

[@AdaptToPerform]

All depends where you live in the world. I went for an assessment at a centre where I tried lots of things. Settled on the right controls there. Went on to get my car and all the controls fitted. Then because I hadn't had a driving license before, I learnt to drive in my own car. Thanks for watching. 😊😊

[@Nuttayhead18]

@@AdaptToPerform Oh ok, awesome! Thank you so much for your posting your inspirational videos. They have definitely taught me a lot! 😁😄😊
