Videos can be super helpful.
Ever wonder how other people transfer?
What their home modifications look like?
Want to see how other wheelchair sports are played?
Want to know what its like to travel in a wheelchair?

Well, a video can show you that. This blog didn't seem complete unless we could include some of these great video resources. Sadly, I don't really know how to do that - but I DID know how to make a youTube account. This post is going to help you access the YouTube account with all the cool videos.

SCIrehab has a channel on YouTube that you can access here: http://www.youtube.com/user/SCIrehab
Once you visit that channel, if you already have a YouTube account (which is pretty handy and easy to get, with instructions on the YouTube site) you can subscribe which makes it easier to follow. Or, if you are not interested in having an account, follow the above mentioned link and peruse from there.

Once at the site, on the very top next to 'SCIrehab Channel subscribe', you should see a list of options such as 'All, Uploads, Favorites, Playlists'. To get a sense of how many videos there are, click on playlists. The list to the right side of the currently displayed video should become a scrollable list - which is actually all the playlists. Scroll through the playlists until you find one you like, then click 'More Info'. The scrollable list should then display all the videos specific to the playlist you have selected.

Videos range from bed mobility, to cooking, to travel, to transportation, to sports, to home modifications, and so on and so on. I have also tried to separate the video playlists by videos specific to paraplegia and quadriplegia. As this is a growing endeavor, some lists have many videos, and some have few. The goal is to let the channel grow as I find new videos. Feel free to let me know if you have any good ones to link up!

Another neat thing on the YouTube channel, if you scroll all the way down, is the list of subscriptions. Those are other channels that were also interesting and might be worth checking out.

Happy video watching!

These words, spoken by a spinal cord injury patient who is using a bionic suit to help him stand and walk, illustrate the hope that these machines provide for spinal cord injury patients. suvitas
