This is incredible. It looks as though it would require more skill to play games this way than with two hands. This guy is awesome!!

Yeah, it's cool hey?! I wanna try just to see how hard it actually is lol

That's really cool and such a great innovation! I was a paramedic/firefighter before I retired and ran many calls where I believed my patient would become para or quad and wondered how they would get along in life. God bless y'all and thank you...

This was a cool experience/gaming tutorial (never played video games lol)...it looks so real! Finally, I feel like I understand "gamers" ...thanks for showing us how it's done.

I love that you're including quads on your channel! Instead of content you can call it quadtent.. Im a c4c5 and maybe now I could keep up with my son!!

Fantastic technology. Thanks so much for sharing this. What are the purple coverings on Travis's hands? They look cool, but I wondering if they serve a function.

Not sure! I'll ask him!

I’d heard of the Sip and Puff method but I’d never seen it explained previously. That was really cool how Trevis actually played the racing game as we watched. (IMHO, $13,000 for a Scooter Attachment to a wheelchair is crazy!!) He seems like a very personable fella; hopefully we will see him again on another video. Can the QuadStick or other Sip & Puff apparatus be used for other daily functions?

Wow that’s seriously impressive, looks like it takes a lot of skill. I had no idea something like this existed! I know this has nothing to do with the video but what we’re Trevis’s hands wrapped in? Is it because his hands get cold?

The wraps are to prevent people from trying to shake his hands or touch his hands because he has crippling nerve pain when touched.

Travis: I'd like to know about your gloves? I like your style...initially, I thought they were for gaming but now I'm curious...fashion or function or ?

This is probably a dumb question due to my ignorance, but how is he able to breathe and speak? Genuinely curious. The internet keeps telling me that quadriplegics have difficulty breathing .. and I don't know enough to formulate better google search criteria. I dont have a disability myself, but your channel has been super informative. hopefully more and more people will check it out.

Quads do have significantly lower lung capacity and no abdominal muscles for breathing so yes they have a harder time breathing. It really only becomes an issue with coughing and getting sick when taking a big breath and having high interabdomenal pressure matters. Some quads can't breathe on their own though and need to be on a ventilator.

@2p2walk

9 ай бұрын

you can breath through your nose and still sip or puff. its very slight

I have still been trying to figure out how to get a quadstick, I been in touch with the company but they are not saying how to get one like who do I go through to even get it to insurance? I see he paid for his but I know you can get it through insurance
