Q: What’s your number-one day-to-day living problem?

People with spinal cord injuries have daily problems specific to paralysis. The majority report bowel and bladder management as a significant inconvenience, as well as having to do daily skin inspections for pressure sores and managing neuropathic pain.

Others are concerned about finding reliable caregivers to help with activities of daily living and many get frustrated with architectural barriers and the lack of access to adaptive transportation.
