A very pragmatic approach to "life on wheels", provides an insider's viewpoint with large amount of facts, references and helpful hints. Great book.

I found this book helpful even though I am quite a few years into my spinal cord injury. I think this book should be given out to the newly disabled so that they can see how full their lives still are. I know mine is...

This book is an excellent book for anyone who uses a wheelchair. It has tons of medical information, how to choose the perfect wheelchair, and even stuff on building relationships. I highly recommend it to any wheeler, new or old!

I have just recently been told to get off my ankle. I was having problems with acepting this and how to deal with being out in the public in a chair. This book helped me see that my thoughts were normal and most people have them. That helped me a lot. I read the book and then went back again to cover the parts that I thought really pertained to me. I will keep the book on hand for further references as I know questions will come up.

This is a good book for someone who has recently had to be in a wheelchair. It gives a lot of basic information that is not covered if you don't have a health professional or rehab hospital to guide you every step of the way. You will gain a lot of valuable information.

I thought this book was very well written and could be immensely helpful for individuals starting their life on wheels. The book contains answers to questions you never would have thought to ask and covers all sorts of topics...even Zen wheeling! However, this book may not be the most appropriate book for all individuals in a wheelchair, as the book is geared towards individuals who have spinal cord injuries.
