TRENDING

Over the years we’ve gotten used to social media videos of improbable — and highly impractical — wheelchair prototypes. But a folding wheelchair where the wheels fold up like an umbrella is definitely a new one. Watch this short video of a nondisabled Italian inventor and his “Revolve Air” wheelchair and let us know, is there any possible world where this is a good idea?

PRODUCTS

With the Nitrum, Quickie aims to pack as much as possible into an ultralightweight rigid wheelchair. Features include ovalized tubing engineered for push efficiency, a unique caster adjustment system and integrated LED lights that offer a little bit of bling.

SURVEY OPPORTUNITY

With COVID-19 vaccinations continuing to ramp up, we want to hear from individuals with spinal cord injury/disorder. Whether you’re already vaccinated, all for it but still waiting your turn or hesitant about receiving it, please take a couple of minutes to fill out our survey. Your responses could help shape how vaccine information is shared with our community.

PLEASE REMAIN SEATED

When you’re sitting in an elevator and a nondisabled person starts rushing to get to the door before it closes, what do you do? Mat Barton’s latest comic has Frank showing newly injured Karl the ropes on this all-too-common situation.
