Is this for use in the future?
Not clear
why he wants or needs this right now, as it seems like a fairly major
accommodation.
I would consider posting this to the
RESNA
listserve (I do not mind doing it if you do not belong) as the engineer
types
there are likely to have more experience with some of these types of
modifications. Seems like it might be relatively simple to hard wire
some
switch jacks. But it would be good to have more info
on
why he wants one. (Or I am just not understanding a concept
here? Very
possible!) Ed Hitchcock

[mailto:xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Alisa Brownlee This is out of my realm, so I am hoping the group can
assist.... We have a Bi-Brachial ALS patient (no arm or hand movement but fine
legs and head movement) that wants to independently use a stair
glide. He wants to know if anyone has ever converted a stair
glide
for someone to use with controls operated with other body parts besides the
hands. I don't know the answer but thought I would ask. I am also
concerned about safety! Thanks for any help. Alisa Alisa Brownlee,
