I have an appointment in January for a check-up and am going to get weighed then. I'm really thin and use to have quite the quad gut; but I no longer drink tons of beer everyday either, and was thin prior to my accident. Exercise abilities will differ as we as quads have various levels of injury. At my level (c5-c6) it allows me to use a 12 lb. free weight that I lay over my wrist to do elbow extensions and curls; this works my deltoids/shoulders and biceps, I have no triceps. Whatever exercise you can do at your level.... it's all good! Tim- 20 yrs. post ~peace~ www.geocities.com/onemofortom WhoopieKat.com

But they make a good grasping glove for that. Allegro has them, though not cheap. http://www.allegromedical.com/exercise-fitness-c523/grasping-cuff-with-wrist-support-p188617.html I’m happen to have just been looking for the tri bar gripping sets. Looking to see if I could find a set to attach to it. Greg Hello, Happy Holidays to everyone. How do the people with a C4-5 injury keep your arms on a hand cycle?
