[Figure 2.c.5] Push vs. Pull makes it easier to push your wheelchair and reduces stress on your upper limb, but it also makes the chair more likely to tip backward. Simple falls from a wheelchair can cause leg fractures, arm injuries, wounds, and worse. Make sure the leg rests fit well to help prevent pressure ulcers on your legs and to help keep your legs from falling off the rests and getting caught. Consider newer ergonomic hand rims to decrease stress on your wrists and hands. Avoid a tight grip on hand rims. The main point of contact between your hand rim and your hand should be the meaty part of your palm, just above your thumb. Avoid carrying large objects in your lap that block your view of the ground. Instead, carry things in a luggage carrier on your chair, or find some other way to transport them. In addition to a well-set-up chair for posture and good push mechanics for arm protection, it’s important to stretch the front of your shoulder muscles [which get overused and tightened in a wheelchair] and to strengthen the muscles in your back. Your physical therapist can show you some simple exercises that should be part of your daily routine. hands above the wheels when you return them to the hand rim during a push stroke. The wheelchair should be set up for maximum efficiency to minimize the stress on your arms. Keep the weight of your wheelchair as low as possible. Fully adjustable [or customized] ultralight manual wheelchairs are the most appropriate type for people with SCI who rely on them for all mobility. Avoid items that add weight to the chair unless they’re needed for safety or access to your environment. Avoid items that decrease push efficiency [like rear shocks] unless you need them for other medical conditions or environmental access. Set up your wheelchair with the rear wheels as far forward as possible without causing the chair to become too tippy. Check the rear wheel height in relation to your arm length—your elbow should be bent at about 100–120 degrees when your hand is at the top of your push rim. You may have to adjust where the axle attaches on the frame of your wheelchair. Work with your therapist on advanced wheelchair skills and adjustment of your rear axle position. Moving the axle forward Ambulation [Walking] Many people strive to return to walking, but it can have some serious consequences for joint preservation. To compensate for weak leg muscles, many people with SCI bear more weight on their arms when they walk. This can cause problems for the shoulders and wrists. Weak muscles can also cause unusual movement patterns, looseness and instability in joints and, eventually, degeneration [arthritis] in the joints of your legs or low back. You can minimize these risks by working with your therapist to normalize your walking pattern [ 82 ] | Yes, You Can!
