Challenging Reality: Hill Climbers
http://challenging-reality.blogspot.com/2015/04/hill-climbers.html
Solutions to the barriers faced by quadriplegics and the technology to make life easier. Tuesday, April 7, 2015. Hill climbers, or hill stoppers, have been one of the best technological additions I have ever experienced. The particularly grippy Q-Grip push rims. That I enjoy are a great help but they are still susceptible to wet conditions. If they get much moisture on them your grip was gone when it came to contact between them and The Gloves.

Challenging Reality: Adapted Makeup Brush
http://challenging-reality.blogspot.com/2015/02/adapted-makeup-brush.html
Solutions to the barriers faced by quadriplegics and the technology to make life easier. Monday, February 2, 2015. The photo in this post is a re-creation of a makeup brush, extended by a tongue depressor, held on with white cloth medical tape, that my friend, Delynne, used to use. For whatever reason, she no longer needs this simple but effective adaptation that allows her to independently perform an important part of her grooming. Doctor's office or order a pack online.

Challenging Reality: Push Rims
http://challenging-reality.blogspot.com/2013/11/push-rims.html
Solutions to the barriers faced by quadriplegics and the technology to make life easier. Monday, November 25, 2013. With it being the season of snow accumulation, wet tires and push rims, and the friction reduction caused by the cold, this post is very intentionally timed for now. There are the less frequent mobility enhancers such as the recently mentioned Lever Door Knobs. And Automatic Door Openers. When first establishing my preferred choices of traction enhancement The Gloves. Rim coatings will get ...

Challenging Reality: The Gloves
http://challenging-reality.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-gloves.html
Solutions to the barriers faced by quadriplegics and the technology to make life easier. Wednesday, May 1, 2013. One of the most significant moment to moment challenges of being a quadriplegic is the lack of hand and finger function. Being able to firmly grasp things with one hand, use tools and grip surfaces is not something to be taken for granted. They may not be ideal for a Saskatchewan winter, but I'd rather get where I'm going with cold hands than be comfortably warm and stuck in the snow. Yes, ful...

Challenging Reality: Touch Lamp
http://challenging-reality.blogspot.com/2015/03/touch-lamp.html
Solutions to the barriers faced by quadriplegics and the technology to make life easier. Monday, March 9, 2015. I don't believe touch lamps are going to disappear forever but they have been becoming more difficult to find. It may simply be a matter of searching hard to find the right one and, before long, we may not enjoy the ease of waking up to a low or medium setting if on or off are our only options. Lamp – department stores and online. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Find us on Pinterest.

Challenging Reality: Lanyards and Mobile Phones
http://challenging-reality.blogspot.com/2015/02/lanyards-and-mobile-phones.html
Solutions to the barriers faced by quadriplegics and the technology to make life easier. Monday, February 9, 2015. Lanyards and Mobile Phones. I'm fortunate to have enough dexterity to seldom need assistance using my mobile phone. As mentioned before. Their adaptation was simply to feed the lanyard around their case, looped from the headphone opening to the camera's opening. Ingenious and universal for just about any smart phone out there.

Challenging Reality: Think Twice Before Taking that Handicapped Spot in Russia
http://challenging-reality.blogspot.com/2015/05/think-twice-before-taking-that.html
Solutions to the barriers faced by quadriplegics and the technology to make life easier. Monday, May 4, 2015. Think Twice Before Taking that Handicapped Spot in Russia. Last week I discussed Handicapped Parking Spaces and Placards. I don't have a problem with shocking advertisements in the safe situation such as watching TV or YouTube. However, as you will see in the video below, my concern is that the surprise my cause a driver to slam on the gas, instead of the brake. Watch for yourself.
