I have a daughter who uses a wheelchair and has C4 C5 neck injuries so she can't tilt her head back. Do you think this will work for her?

it may?? it does bend a lot and if you had a low chair or one that tilted back she would not have to bend much. The hardest thing about this product is keeping drain pipe in the sink. I still have not figured out to secure it so that it doesn't fly out and drain all over the floor!! When I have a client with neck injury sometimes I try rinsing with them face down standing up in front of bowl, maybe try that..

I don't think it would work very well for her U do have to be able to lean back so the water doesn't drip down there back

I feel pretty confident it will work but I would get the dimension from the bottom of the chair (ground) to the top of back of the chair just so you know where it will hit your back. Make sense? If you are young enough to sit on the ground for long periods of time it should work.

Yes, for people who have limited mobility, are wheelchair bound, have bad back problems. Also can be used to extend reach for elevated objects.

I use it primarily in the car (while my child is in his carseat) as that is when he tends to need it due to sleeping and sitting, like on a long car trip. It does tilt his head forward, but we move it around to fit properly. My husband tried putting it on our son backwards so it propped his chin up while he was sleeping. Worked pretty well for us! :)

Yes, otherwise the air pressure in the neck brace will cause your head to fall backwards, and that will probably cause more of a problem.

I think it could work. It depends upon how much upper body strength she has. I will say it'll probably get a little easier the more she uses it.

I think that this might work for you, maybe for a year. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Good luck finding the right wheelchair. =)

It allows me to bend my neck back and rest my occipital bone on the top of the chair back but does not support the entire back of my head. I'm 5'4" and have a small torso so keep that in mind.

Yes, it will work. I removed the headrest from the back seat of my car to get my daughter's car seat to fit more securely. The DuoMat is held in place by the pressure of a properly tightened child safety seat.

yes, it should work for you. The are adjustment levers on each side. The velcro goes around your forehead to keep it stable as you pump it up to pressure you want.

I think it should since it has adjustable cords that can be tightened to size of head and neck. But you may just need to try it and send back for refund if it does't seem to work for you.

My guess is that yes it will help. Sometimes you only need a little support to help maintain balance. I gHave had three back surgeries and a torn ACL and I keep mine in my car for those days I need a little assistance

For the price I think it would wouldwork as well as anything that I have seen, Please note that your arms will get wet because there are no actual sleeves, but I think it will fit over the wheelchair easily. Good luck, Jeff

I would say yes with a little strategy and maneuvering. Maybe a small table behind the wheelchair it can be done.

Yes it can if the neck does not have advanced arthritis rendering unable to move. I am a PT and think this is a wonderful ti

I don't believe this would be an effective exercise apparatus for those who use a wheelchair. This pole is too long. I suggest the Body Blade. It is much shorter and would work for someone who uses a wheelchair because it would not hit the floor the way this item would. The body blade is more expensive but so worth it.

Not really, this worked great for my wife who was recuperating from car accident back injury, but the seat cannot be adjusted so that it is parallel to the ground, not even close.
