just had an airport experience so evil that i literally openly cried from like 10min after deplaning all the way through customs etc until halfway through the train ride back to the city 👍

Read a fic once where Jason survived, but he had mobility issues, so he was in wheelchair for a while, and when Tim showed up he was rightfully upset and got into an argument with Bruce, and Alfred just straight up pushed him out of the goddamn room.

I haven't been so infuriated by a scene in a fic in a long, long time. Especially since the whole thing was never addressed. Like, I literally had to put down my phone and take a breather to calm myself, I was so upset.

Can someone PLEASE drop remote jobs I can have without a degree 😞😞😞 im getting too physically ill to be able to do physical labor work & even then I have to uber everywhere which is eating into my paychecks :(

guess who self referred to NHS therapy.no clue if they're gonna do anything at all but at this point its worth a shot

[ghostly-rantings]

also most ramps that ARE added arent even safe or built to regulation standards making them extremely inaccesible despite the fact that the Entire Point of adding a ramp is supposed to be accessibility

maybe it's pendantic but it annoys me when ppl say stuff like accessibility is more than just adding a ramp, bc like they are not even adding ramps bestie. like that's not being provided in 9/10 situations

How a Remote Control Wheelchair Can Enhance Your Independence

Introduction to Remote Control Wheelchairs

As someone who values independence, I understand the challenges that individuals with limited mobility face on a daily basis. However, thanks to advancements in technology, there is a solution that can significantly enhance your independence: the remote control wheelchair. In this article, I will delve into the world of remote control wheelchairs, exploring their benefits, how they enhance independence, and the different types available. By the end, you will gain a deeper understanding of how these innovative devices can provide freedom at your fingertips.

The Benefits of Using a Remote Control Wheelchair

When it comes to utilizing a remote control wheelchair, there are numerous benefits that can greatly improve the quality of life for those with limited mobility. Firstly, these wheelchairs offer increased convenience. With just a touch of a button, you can easily maneuver the wheelchair, eliminating the need for physical effort or assistance from others. This newfound convenience allows you to navigate through your daily activities with ease, whether it be at home, work, or in public spaces.

Moreover, remote control wheelchairs offer enhanced safety. Traditional wheelchairs often require the individual to rely on others for assistance, which can be a daunting prospect. However, with a remote control wheelchair, you are in full control of your movements. This independence not only boosts your confidence but also reduces the risk of accidents or mishaps that can occur when relying on others.

Additionally, remote control wheelchairs promote social interaction. By being able to navigate independently, you can actively participate in social gatherings, outings, and events. The freedom to move around and engage with others on your terms can significantly improve your overall well-being and mental health. This newfound social inclusion can open doors to new friendships, experiences, and opportunities.

How a Remote Control Wheelchair Enhances Independence

One of the most significant ways in which a remote control wheelchair enhances independence is by providing individuals with the freedom to go wherever they desire. Whether it's exploring the great outdoors, maneuvering through crowded spaces, or simply moving freely within their own home, remote control wheelchairs empower individuals to live life on their own terms.

Moreover, remote control wheelchairs allow individuals to perform daily tasks with ease. From simple activities like grabbing a book from a shelf to more complex tasks like cooking a meal, these wheelchairs give individuals the ability to carry out their daily routines independently. This newfound freedom not only enhances their sense of self-reliance but also fosters a greater sense of accomplishment and self-esteem.

Furthermore, remote control wheelchairs provide individuals with the ability to access various environments that were previously off-limits. With features like stair-climbing capabilities and all-terrain options, individuals can now explore places that were once inaccessible. This opens up a world of possibilities, allowing individuals to fully participate in activities and experiences that were previously out of reach.

Types of Remote Control Wheelchairs

When it comes to remote control wheelchairs, there are various types available to suit different needs and preferences. One type is the standard remote control wheelchair, which offers basic functionality and maneuverability. These wheelchairs are suitable for individuals who have limited mobility but still possess the ability to control their movements effectively.

Another type is the power assist remote control wheelchair, which provides additional support and assistance. These wheelchairs are ideal for individuals who may have limited upper body strength or require extra assistance when navigating through challenging terrains or inclines. The power assist feature ensures a smoother and more controlled experience.

Lastly, there are all-terrain remote control wheelchairs, designed specifically for outdoor exploration. These wheelchairs are equipped with rugged tires, powerful motors, and advanced suspension systems, allowing individuals to conquer various terrains, including gravel paths, grassy fields, and even sandy beaches. With an all-terrain remote control wheelchair, individuals can embrace the freedom of exploring outdoor spaces without limitations.

Conclusion: Embracing Freedom with a Remote Control Wheelchair

In conclusion, a remote control wheelchair can be a life-changing device for individuals with limited mobility. The benefits of using a remote control wheelchair are vast, ranging from increased convenience and safety to enhanced social interaction. By providing individuals with the freedom to go where they please and perform daily tasks independently, these wheelchairs truly empower individuals and enhance their sense of independence.

If you are someone who values independence and desires to regain control over your mobility, consider exploring the world of remote control wheelchairs. With various types available, there is a wheelchair to suit your specific needs and preferences. Embrace the freedom at your fingertips and embark on a journey of enhanced independence with a remote control wheelchair.

People on the internet: they can't hire actors who are actually in wheelchairs to play wheelchair users in movies! What if there's a scene where they need to stand up? A wheelchair user can't do that!

Robert Rodriguez: hold my beer

This is a scene from spy kids 3 - a movie in a series famous for its shoe-string budgets, where Ricardo Montalbán's character is in a wheelchair, but spends most of his screen time in a digital reality where he doesn't need it. Ricardo Montalbán was actually in a wheelchair though in real life, so they just used a combination of VFX and camera tricks (and a dolly for a few shots) to film those scenes. Also if I remember correctly the movie ends with him back in the real world, fighting a mech with his jet-pack wheelchair lmao.

The disability rep is dated (as is the VFX lol) and does fall into a lot of tropes I personally dont like, but it's so earnest in their attempts, and the visible effort behind the scenes to include a real, disabled actor outweighs it for me - even as a kid who wasnt fully aware of why.

Bigger studios have no excuse.

I've linked the video I got these screenshots from, they talk a lot about how they handled Ricardo Montalbán's character being out of his wheelchair there. If if you like behind the scenes stuff for campy old movies, I highly recommend it!

[ID 1: a screenshot of the movie Spy kids 3D, showing Juni, the main character in a suit of yellow power armour, talking to his grandfather, who towers over him in red power armour. his grandfather is kneeling so he can be at eye level with him.

the caption underneath reads "where he kneels down and talks to Juni" /end ID 1]

[ID 2: a photo of the same shot but without the effects. Grandpa is shown to be in a wheelchair, and is being held at the needed height by a moveable platform his wheelchair is sitting on. Juni is wearing the armour, grandpa is not, and there are green screens behind them.

the caption underneath reads "but we just had him lowered in a dolly" /end ID 2]

(otherwise known as hate names terrible at decision)

VERY pastel n rainbow overload >:)

they level 3 autistic (“requiring very substantial support”) with high support needs—meaning they cannot independently do most adaptive functioning skills, needing other people physical help to do/do for them. they also need 24/7 supervision & physical help for all iADLs & bADLs.

they nonverbal & use AAC full time. their AAC is symbol based speech generating device.

their (most likely [<haven’t decided] partner who act as their) disability caretaker is hyacinthos shinya🪻🌌.

they also full time non-ambulatory wheelchair user with very specific posture & seating positioning needs so not out of it for long or really much at all.

angel wing on back of wheelchair is power assist! is magically powered by hyacinthos (who angel) & can be powered even remotely / far away. way control wheelchair & power assist part by intuitive / hand motions & gestures / etc, part by halo hover above armrest that act as joystick. can use it like traditional joystick or wear as bracelet n control that way! (gimme it i want one) (if you recognize this setting it may be because previous version)

they do mix of self propel, power assist, & caregiver push. their wheelchair have stroller style push handle instead traditional push handle for easier caregiver push, especially one handed.

is set in magical world & they do some magic (< haven’t decided]!

Best Friends For Life (Roblox - Pressure)

Art by Baybearsz. They have one of the cutest Imaginary Friend interpretations I’ve seen.

Guardsman: “So, you’ve finally arrived-HEY HEY! What’s Z-432 doing with you?!”

Damn it, the guardsmen spotted the remote on your person.

You: “She’s coming with me. I’m not leaving her down there.”

Guardsman: “She?! What were you thinking bringing an entity with you from the facility?! That was not part of your instructions!”

Imaginary Friend twiddled her tendril hands, looking ashamed as she hid behind you.

You: “So what? She isn’t a threat to anyone! I can attest to that, she’s just been following me throughout the whole facility! Not once did she try to attack me, she actually helped me! If it wasn’t for her, I’d probably be dead!”

Guardsman: “We can’t take any chances. Hand over the remote! That’s the only way Z-432-1 is able to follow you back up here.”

You: “No, I got you your crystal. Just let us do the exchange and everything will be good. I won’t leave her.”

Imaginary Friend looked worried for you, she didn’t want you to get hurt because of her….

Guardsman: “Let go of the remote. Now!”

You don’t budge, Imaginary Friend was now panicked as the guardsman raised his weapon.

She was about to try something, anything, to move you out of harm’s way when…

???: “Take the crystal. Let them go.”

You looked past the guard to see a decrepit, old man on a tank treaded wheelchair. The guardsmen looked back at the man in shock.

Guardsman: “What? But sir, you can’t be serious about this!”

???: “The public will only see it as a toy remote. Only they can see…her. Besides, only we hold the knowledge of what Z-432 can do after the cover up. Let them go…”

The guardsman sighed in defeat and takes the crystal container from you, other guards came by to escort you to the locker room for a change of clothes.

You felt a surge of warmth around your body, your friend was hugging you. She was so relieved that you were okay…

You: “You’ve been by me from the start. No way I’m letting that make us part ways. You’re sticking by me, friend….”

Imaginary Friend could do nothing but smile at you, her cheeks growing a pinkish tint as her tendril hand gently held yours.

Imaginary Friend: “….I love you…”

[flowercrowncrip]

your pinned post mentions a "hoist"-- what does that mean? /genq

Good question!

I’m unable to transfer myself (move between my wheelchair and bed), and a hoist allows me to be lifted safely so I can do this.

This is what my ceiling hoist looks like when not in use. The box part will stay at the ceiling height and travels along the track. The bar that hangs down moves up and down with a remote control.

ID : a photo of a ceiling track hoist, which is a white box on a track at the ceiling that has a bar hanging from it /end ID

It works by having the person being moved sit on a sling that hooks onto the hoist which then lifts the person. There are lots of different kinds of sling depending on a person’s needs. Here’s an old photo of me in one of my slings:

ID: Echo in a sling which is being lifted by a hoist enough to support their body. /end ID

There are also mobile hoists which don’t require mounting anything to the ceiling. These act a bit like a small crane. They’re more mobile than a ceiling hoist which can only be used when a track is mounted but not easy to transport. I have one for when I go away and the box often gets mistaken for an electric piano or wardrobe.

I believe in other parts of the world they might be called Hoyer lifts/ patient lifts, but in the UK we say hoists
