I don’t know of this being done,
but, maybe another way to go is to get a lift that has a remote –
then you
may be able to attach the remote to the footplate and then he could use his
toes to operate? Antoinette Verdone, MSBME,

[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,
