Thanks for watching!

Most cant, i note she can lift her legs. As they are crossed st the knees, indicating she has no complete spinal cord injury ie messages cant travel to the legs to say "leg lift". Also this Indicates she still has some muscle strength. She can also get herself into a regular arm chair.....one of the largest hurdles for most is simply even transferring ie chair to loo. Bed etc..so a good video but in reality. No most wheelchair bound people cannot, not in a regular car. A van that has been gutted, back entry ramp so you can ride your wheelchair into a drivers position is the reality for "most wheelchair users" as she puts it... price tag $100 thousand au plus...minimum. I was watching for step one.... how can i transfer to a normal car? Noone in my family can afford a wheelchair vehicle so for 8 years ive never bern able to go anywhere with them. DONT GET ME WRONG.... YOULL ALL HATE ME NOW... but shes young and naive... dont say " most wheelchair users" most would need some form of hydraulic lift system to even get in, so what happens when you get to your destination???

have a under 30 years old without driving licence

Been driving with a hand control since 1976. Had complete lower extremities paralysis due to polio.

Hold My beer! I’m disappointed 😔 and I not lieing I am actually Disappointed 😔

Omg same! I looked this up because of joe driving and him blowing into those tubes lol

I have problems with the nerves in my leg too. It definitely is necessary to stay positive and upbeat 😊 Great video!!!

Dana S if you have any kind of nerve pain try a drug called lyrica talk to your doctor about it I helped me so much if you taking gabapentin lyric is like 10 times better and way more effective

+Jasse Golestani You're right I'm taking gabapentin. It's working alright but it could be better. I just had my first epidural injection and I can still feel the nerves. I will totally look up lyrica(I've seen the commercials) and ask my doctor about it. Thank you Jasse😊

Carlos F Ruiz You didn’t read my statement... lol 😂

yesssssssssssssssss that pretty face

Yes but cringe ameture

Its not in most cases. I got excited to watch this as i miss my freedom of driving so much but i cant even transfer to a normal car.. So was keen to watch, " how to transfer..". When she said "most in wheelchairs", she was way wrong. She clearly has some lower mobility, even if decreased , one of the first things i noticed was she was in a regular lounge chair, wheelchair not in front but beside the chair. WITH her legs crossed over at the knees. To sit like that you must have enough muscle strength to lift your leg up in the air. So its only possible for a very small group ie in a regular car. Ive not sat on a lounge chair for 8 years, cant transfer.... so dont get me wrong but yep i was disappointed when she said most people... most people in wheelchairs cannot do this. Take it from a paraplegic. I cant get in and out of bed... Its possible but in her case, she has some lower mobility. For people who cannot get out of a chair?? They still need a wheelchair accessible car. I was more caught be the how to transfer to the car... thats the first step ie if i could even transfer to a normal car eg to go out with family.....id be stoked. Getting in the car, step one......

Thanks so much for watching! We created this video so long ago that it'd be difficult to say which chair brand this is. But we'd love to make some content around selecting the right wheelchair if it'd be helpful. What are your thoughts on that?

Hi Omar, That's a great question. If you send us an email with your question at email@nchpad.org, we can give you some one on one advice at no costs to accommodate your needs. Thanks for watching!

Those are called portable hand controls. A google search should get you what you need or you could contact your rehab specialist. Thanks for watching.

Yes

Yes makes life easier. Anyways nowdays healthy people are also choosing automatic cars

Nessie14j If someone parks too close to you, you will have to ask someone else to back you vehicle out so you can transfer into your vehicle. Simple but unpleasant and degrading as well.

Depends on the state. In Massachusetts - NO.

I'm sorry

Thanks for reaching out. You will need to work with your wheelchair provider in order to get a different chair.

I'm sorry to hear that. Where are you from?
