When I was injured in 2002, I was overwhelmed by everything. Not only was there confusion with everything that was happening with my injury, there were issues with dealing with my insurance company, and the complete reassessment of home life. How do you deal with all of that? I was fortunate enough to get a referral to a gym that was specifically designed for people with spinal cord injury. The attendees of the gym became a community, It is a place were ideas are shared and invaluable information is passed throughout the community. This site was created to expand our community and make it accessible to anyone who has been injured, and the friends and family members who are also affected. So, we welcome all of our members to ask questions, start conversations, and share your experiences with one another.

SCI Research
I'm really excited to be getting my dissertation up and running. As it states in my profile I'm a clinical psychology graduate student and as part of my program I need to complete an original research project. I though what better way to complete that than to advance the research literature on those who sustain and live with a spinal cord injury.
It is a questionnaire based project and I hope to get a ton of people with a spinal cord injury to take part in it. I was really happy to have… Continue

Unleashing Your Inner iPhone
I didn't get the first iPhone because of the lack of 3G. When the second-generation iPhone became available, I stood in line for four hours just to be sent home empty-handed because there was confusion over what to do with the existing AT&T customers. Three weeks later, I got my iPhone. My tech savvy friends were quick to push me to… Continue

Wirelessly unlock your door with a watch!
The watch itself features integrated pressure and temperature sensors, a 3-axis accelerometer and 128-bit AES encrypted wireless. In this demo, the watch syncs with the receiver box mounted on the deadbolt. A sequence is tapped on the face of the watch—activating a servo inside the box that opens the door. Personally, I would prefer to open the door with my cellphone, but this looks to b… Continue

Chronic spinal cord Injury Research
Hope everyone is healthy and doing well. Does anyone know whats happening with chronic spinal cord injury research. I tried finding out through the web. But everything been done seems to be be focusing on acute sci. Does this mean there is no hope for us chronic patients. I hope that I am wrong. I would hope something is being done. I would like to see something close to a cure even if its not the complete deal. I am 2 and a half years post. I wish we can all see a cure soon!
