My brother is a C4/5 quad and although he has an electric chair, does not have enough control to drive it.

A sip and puff device has been recommended.

Does anyone have any feedback at all about this device?

He has a Netti III chair, and apparently it is just a plug in accessory that requires programming.

Bottom line is that he needs to find something that will be compatible with the chair and be able to be operated with his neck movement (which has a fair range) or his breath. He tried a chin control, but found it hurt his neck and found it to be very invasive and in the way.

any feed back will be welcomed.

thankx
