Hi there

what tools do you recommend to a quad with no finger movement, weak wrist, weak triceps? Until now, I was using the scream button, but i plan to start a new life (trying to be as independent is possible)

Which are the must have tools for a quad? What did you see that other people(quads) are using? I don't have anything.

many thx..if u have a link..is better

I don't what "tools" exactly you are looking for, but we found a cell phone that my boyfriend (C4-C5 no finger movement and some wrist extension in right wrist) can use. We got one of the touch-screen phones (verizon) and found a way to attach it to his chair (the arm rest) and he can rest his elbow on the arm rest and uses his thumb to press the buttons on the screen. He then has a blue-tooth that he keeps in during the day so he doesn't have to worry about holding the phone up to his ear. He likes it because now he can answer the phone on his own and no one has to stand there and hold it to his ear, plus he can text again too! I hope this helps some
