Collection: SCI - Spinal Cord Injury - C5 Quadriplegia
What is C5 Quadriplegia? Damage to the spinal cord at the C5 vertebra affects the vocal cords, biceps, and deltoid muscles in the upper arms. Unlike some of the higher cervical injuries, a patient with a C5 spinal cord injury will likely be able to breath and speak on their own. Learn More
Typical Abilities of persons with C5 Quadriplegia: With an injury to this vertebrae, there is typically full neck and head movement usually with some muscle strength as well as good shoulder control. Floppy wrists are evident and generally can touch the chin. This injury makes for a good PowerGrip candidate and Passive wrist splints. This patient might be able to use a manual wheelchair, but it would be greatly improved using power assist wheels.
Typical Disabilities: A person with C5 Quadriplegia will experience paralysis of the arms and legs, with varying degrees of elbow movement. They will need assistance with daily living, but may have some independent function.

Let customers speak for us
from 6 reviewsWe purchased a comfort carrier to help us transfer clients into kayaks and all terrain wheelchairs. The carrier is very well made with thick material and strong stitching. It makes transfers much safer, due to the handy large handles for carrying, and also makes lifting a client easier as you can do so with a straight back! Amazing piece of equipment that will make our lives much easier and will improve comfort and safety for our clients. Thanks Inclusive Inc!

Perfect tool to aid spinal cord injured men in ejaculation. I’m satisfied as well as my wife!

Very satisfied and pleased with how the device got the expected results after use

I was so happy that I received it in time for my trip and I am in love. It made the transfers to and from the seats pain free, easy and I felt secure
