Collection: SCI - Spinal Cord Injury - Paraplegic
What is a Paraplegia? Paraplegia results when an injury to the spinal cord is below the first thoracic spinal nerve. Persons with this type of spinal cord injury are considered paralyzed from the chest, or waist down because they have full strength and dexterity in their hands and arms, but no function or sensation from the waist down.

Typical abilities of persons with Paraplegia: Almost all Paraplegics will use a manual wheelchair unless there are other complications such as worn-out shoulders due to age and many years pushing a manual wheelchair. Consequently power assist device for longer distances such as the Firefly electric hand cycle can reduce the loss of shoulder function due to age and use. Around the age of 50, depending on length of time in wheelchair, many will begin to be candidates for a power wheelchair.
Typical disabilities: In reality, the spinal cord injury could be anywhere from T1 to S2. A thoracic level injury will have sensation limited from as high as the nipples down. Someone with a low sacral injury, commonly referred to as a walking paraplegic, may actually be able to walk but have no control of bladder, bowel, or sexual function.

Let customers speak for us
I use this switch as a substitute for my left mouse button since I have advanced Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It works fantastic for my needs and last about 2 years before needing to be replaced.
I’m a C-5 incomplete quadriplegic and believe this helped my wife and I successfully have a child.
I cannot use my arms due to multiple sclerosis. I was using a mobile on support in OT and it made a huge difference. Using this device I am now able to feed myself and put on make up. It’s giving me some independence. I brought it into OT and it works just as well as the one I was using there.
Everything was good and fast Travel to germany
We 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
