My rehab sucked they never showed me how to do this. I had to go home an learn watching videos on TH-cam. Thinks for making these videos for ppl to learn fall recovery.
Peoples level of injuries are all different, I’m T6/7 so my injury is quiet high, which means peoples core muscles are different, and spasms as well, can be easy for some and harder for others. This guy makes it look so easy, we’ll done lad, keep posting videos 👍🏽
Looking for a wheelchair that will breakdown so I can drive and I'm currently working on getting in and out to garden. I have transverse myelitis a long with bone marrow cancer. I workout so my upper strength is getting better and better. You rock!
I'm an old guy (53), but I'm relatively new to a wheelchair (3 yrs). I was always fairly athletic (HS lacrosse, college hockey, judo) and I still know how to bounce, but I have to say: I find it absolutely ridiculous how PT/OTs treat every patient like they're older than their body weight!! (I KNOW a very large percentage of their patients are old and frail, but we don't treat all people according to what's best for the majority, do we?) Bottom Line: I'm always interested in learning from younger users how to *LIVE* in a wheelchair, vs. not having an accident (oh my!). Thanks for posting this video, Jerry. It worked for me and I'm grateful - Thank You!
@hptman glad I could help man. Theropist are good if they have a lot of experience. But I seen a a lot of young faces and pretty small girls that are not only inexperienced but are just plain weak. And either don't know what to show or are to afraid to take a risk injuring a patient. I showed a lot of new things to Theropist when I was in rehab. It was fun.
Jerry Diaz hi im a lady i find the same when i get to my physio and not always same one so i have to keep explaining myself like talking to a wall and they don't know my needs so me and my folks surf TH-cam for advice like this video but still hard to get proper help :-(
I wonder if these things would work in my chair? My chair is pretty high compared to yours as far as I can tell from videos. I no longer use my anti-tip wheels (my OT's going to tell me off LOL) and don't know if it's just balance, or balance and luck that I haven't had a fall yet or even been close to falling, even with a heavy backpack hanging on the backrest lol
i'm using a wheelchair for 11 months now, but i still didnt find a working way to get from the floor in my char again :) but my legs react like yours the sometimes all muscles seem to tighten up :/
Paul Herrera mine are actually pretty tight. But Most times i stretch alot to relax them. But i kinda know how to move my body around now so it doesn't seem like that.
Jerry Diaz thanks for responding bro. I’ve been in this chair for 21 yrs now I got shot when I was 14, but man it’s been getting hard I need to figure out a way to make my legs relax they just want to stay bent and when they go str8 they get super stiff. If anyone knows of a way to help besides just stretching get at me. Thanks. Negz7601@gmail.com
I've seen so many different kinds of chairs an all kinds of different accessories on them. how do you choose the right chair for your needs an ability. I live in Missouri an the company I have to go through is called numotion. I want a cool looking light strong chair that helps me sit up straighter. I have severe spasms an they control everything. I love swimming an have lost weight but I hate asking ppl to help me get back in my chair from the ground. I guess I just need my arms to be stronger but all my weight is in my tummy!
Yea their is a lot of different kinds of chairs. I'd always recommend a box chair. (The chair I have) It's the best! They custom make it to your needs. There are some steps to go through if you plan to use your insurance to pay for a box chair. and not every insurance will cover the cost. which is A LOT lower than most chairs they cover. makes no sense,but that's just the way it is. Injury level will play a big factor in doing certain things,but it's not an excuse to say you can't. Just gotta find your own way to do it. Work on that arm strength and good luck on finding the right chair! Thanks for watching!
Yea brakes can get in the way. That's why I don't have any. But you can always adjust your body to avoid them. Just gotta find your own way to do things sometimes. Thanks for watching!
When I was at the rehab hospital, they used the facing the chair,(lift & spin) have you ever heard of that way? It was hard back then, and impossible to do now...
It's where you're on the floor facing your chair, with your arms on the seat & your head touching the back of your seat. One of the other posters was going to send you a video on it, it's hard to explain, and harder to do,You lift & spin your way back in your chair, taught by two little girls, that could walk at the North Kansas City Hospital & Rehab center.

Way cool. Ty so much Jerry! Gives me lots of ideas!
Great job brother!

I remember you so much Jerry from ABC prosthetics. I am so happy to see you so well.

Jerry Diaz Hey bro where do you live ?
Great !!!
Que chingon eres muchas gracias
I came here from dub step music. The heck just happened?
@GhostHDelite it's a box chair. Aka mike box designs chair
Good job! it's nice to see someone helping out the spinal cord community.
Also what type of wheels are on that box chair? peace out
Thanks for the support man! They are spinergy r10's
Sometimes in order to go back to my wheelchair i get on my knees
I wonder if these things would work in my chair? My chair is pretty high compared to yours as far as I can tell from videos.

Thus was really help full i have fell out a few times
Glad I could help! Be careful though!
@@MRreptile13 i also sent this to my old friend who is also disabled and he said it was great and helpful thanks
I do it from the front. ;) I'll post a vid one day but I pull myself up facing the seat.
Jerry, have your spams gotten better over time?
Hi good very nice me Adel
i'm using a wheelchair for 11 months now, but i still didnt find a working way to get from the floor in my char again :) but my legs react like yours the sometimes all muscles seem to tighten up :/
cool
very nice man
Transfer to bed
Good advice but my arms are too short to manage your normal way of tipping back up
I fell backwards down my front steps hitting my head on the rocks and I flipped over and cut up my knee too!
Oh man sorry to hear that. Hope it don't happen again.
4:50 I don't dip up,I just use one hand,it takes me a second to get back in my chair,over time transferring becomes second nature.👍♿️
You make it look so easy I'm barely learning how to control my trunk
Jessicaa Ann Just takes practice :)
You have longer arms an a lower back. my back is high. is your injury low. mine is t8t9.
I felt when I wanna tranfer from my shower chair to wc n it hurts so bad, just lying on the floor screaming for help :’-(
super Bro
Thank's for watching!
Some wheelchairs is harder to get it back up using the wheel,so it's easier to just transfer,I made a video trying that👍♿️
Damn bro nice chairs. How do you get your legs to do so chill mine are super tight I hate it.
Paul Herrera mine are actually pretty tight. But Most times i stretch alot to relax them. But i kinda know how to move my body around now so it doesn't seem like that.

Nice video. What injury do you have if I may ask?
how I got my sci?

For how long have you been in your situation and have also encountered any bed soul and how did you deal with it
7 years and now bed soul. Thanks for watching.
What kind of cushion do you have in your chair
I have a video on what I use. Scroll through. Nothing fancy
Thanks for the video, but I don't think I can do that recovery you demonstrate at 1:45. My brakes stick out to the side too much.
Yea brakes can get in the way. That's why I don't have any. But you can always adjust your body to avoid them. Just gotta find your own way to do things sometimes. Thanks for watching!
Hey man how much was your box?
With shipping, a little over $3000
what chair do you have?
Box chair man. Boxwheelchairs.com
How much was your chair? I just realized its a box.
With shipping about $3,100 and it came in a month.
What your injury level it’s much easier when you have core
I hear that stuff all the time,but I know quads that do this stuff just the same. It just takes practice.
When I was at the rehab hospital, they used the facing the chair,(lift & spin) have you ever heard of that way? It was hard back then, and impossible to do now...
I'd have to see what it looks like. never heard of it. and in rehab they never showed me how to get back on my chair. I learned on my own.
It's where you're on the floor facing your chair, with your arms on the seat & your head touching the back of your seat. One of the other posters was going to send you a video on it, it's hard to explain, and harder to do,You lift & spin your way back in your chair, taught by two little girls, that could walk at the North Kansas City Hospital & Rehab center.
I down-loaded a video of the front facing return back to the chair, tell me what you think.
I do it on another way
Ur funny😂nice acting
but your lesion is low... :)
A good reminder that gravity still exist. 👍just get back up dust yourself off. 🚴
Very good. Now try this when you are 45 yrs older and weigh 18 stone ?? LOL
+Play Saint70 It helps if you keep yourself in shape and don't let yourself get up to 18 stone (signed, 29 years in a chair, 57 years old, 15 stone)
Gibt es sodass nicht in deutsche Sprache
Getting back on the chair is one thing but recovering from a fall can take over a month, the notion of being vulnerable to falling, out or over.
I feel sorry for people in the wheelchair
I feel sorry for ignorant people like you.
+Sahreen Akhtar Do not feel sorry for us we are normal people we work and have fun just like other people again we are humans
+Sahreen Akhtar Some of us even live on our own
