Great question...initially when I was a complete para...basically a quad...I used a power chair. Now that I use a manual almost exclusively...I can use one foot to propel myself, and have been working on using my prosthetics to push as well. TY for explaining, Jeff. It would be smart if there was an invention where an arm prosthetic could be used with a special wheel - you could be the first one to have that! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

May I ask you about something (again, lol)? ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) How do you get your prosthetic arms on and off? In your travel photos I can see that they are attached to each other on your back, but how is that done?

Another good question... they are attached to a harness...I usually have a personal assistant that helps me slip into them, but in a pinch...with quite a bit of effort, can manage it.
