Hey all,

My nephew recently became an SCI C6 patient and is in rehab at Magee in Philly. As you all know, weight shifting needs to be done consistently throughout the day. For new SCI patients, this can be easy to forget, so I developed a little iPhone app - wsTimer - that gives the patient an audible reminder when to start weight shift and end it, then restarting the sequence. As per Magee instructions - the weight shift in the wheel chair is 5 minutes long, with 30 minutes between shift, but the app has user definable event durations and intervals, etc.

It's free, so give it a try if interested - if any ideas on improvement, let me know - this is a work in progress, and if there is anything I can do, I'll do it!

You can download it from the Apple APP store - search for wsTimer, quadriplegic, or weight shift. Should work on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
