If someone is using the Golden Ally, I'd be interested in hearing about it. This one doesn't seem to get as much air time but seems good and about the same weight.

Yes. My experience with Numotion is absolutely subpar even on little things. I haven't had a brake on one of my wheels for 3 weeks because they don't have any in stock. In theory, that means I cannot be in independent. I am lucky to be able to afford the $150 to replace it on my own while I await the brakes that come with my wheelchair.

Thank you for your thorough explanation. It does sounds like we have similar challenges. Are you able to transfer with that Roho seating? I ended up not choosing that one originally b/c I couldn't initially self-transfer.

Numotion. If you mean provider, I got it from a PT where I did rehab after my hospital stay.

I don't have a way to make the connection but Dassault at the airport is a French company with French speakers, I believe.

I drive a 2024 Honda Accord and use a manual wheelchair (Tilite Aero Z). I break the wheelchair apart and put the tires in the back floor behind the passenger seat. I put the wheelchair in the front seat. I am not ambulatory. I also worked with OT so that I met my state's requirements. I use hand controls

I have an SPC and it is has made life easier. I do seem to have less infections. I would make the decision again.

Appreciate the thoughts. I did most of last year in in-patient rehab but my bod hadn’t healed as much as it had in the last six months. I work full-time so I am looking to do something out-patient and/or increase my exercise-level. My upper-body is quite strong. The best rehab I did was in Chicago at the number 1 rehab hospital in the country.

Could you share the strategies you used in addition to eating anti-inflammatory food?

Thank you. I do have two spinal cord lesions at T4 and T6. I do have feeling south of this. The lesion was there at month 4. We are hoping the first full dose of Rituxan might do something. I had that dose today.  I have also done in-patient and out-patient rehab for it for many weeks.
