  • Title: [Technical aids to patients with spinal cord injuries].
    Author: André JM, Brugerolle B, de Barmon H.
    Journal: Rev Prat; 1995 Oct 15; 45(16):2040-6. PubMed ID: 8578116.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of technical aids is to compensate temporary and especially definitive functional disabilities in handicapped people. In medullary injured patients, technical aids are essential to preserve as much as possible the independence of paraplegics and particularly tetraplegic patients--activities of daily life such as eating, toileting, dressing, ambulation, car-driving, writing and environment control become hence forward possible. Technical aids prescription and adaptations depend for a large part not only on the localization of the lesion of the trauma but also of the goals, motivations and the environment of the disabled person.
