Thank You. And for the other members here, the MedTrade Show will have a consumer day for non-professionals and endusers to attend. Keep in mind that this show has 1000's of products and services. Base manufactures from all over the planet will be there to display their products to Professionals. I always encourage those near and far to consider attending this annual show. Again, Best Wishes In a message dated 9/3/2010 12:06:53 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:

So much will/may change Post-Injury as time goes on. Some good and some not so good. Much has to do with his daily care and physical therapy if it is continued. ROM is important. Same with the Med Regiment. 1st chair is the result of a group effort, including the patient, working with the Occupational Therapist, Rehab Doctor, Physical Therapist, ATS, Patient Advocate and the DME. If you have the time on your side, I would suggest that you make plans to attend the 2010 MedTrade Show, in Atlanta, Georgia next month. The show is a sensory overload on equipment available for those in need. It is a professional invite show. For info: _www.medtrade.com_ (http://www.medtrade.com/) Attending the show, will offer you a greater insight to what is available on this planet and what may be available in the next 4-5 years with those prototypes being introduced at the show. I hope this helps. Best Wishes In a message dated 9/3/2010 11:49:51 A.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Dear Friends, My Dad is a new C5 quad WITH some aphasia. I would love your advice and suggestions regarding selecting his first chair and some communication device. He can move his head and can puff/suck, but has very minimal arm use.
