Specialized Equipments for the Disabled
Ranked #1,309 in News, #119,932 overall | Donates to March of Dimes
Did you know that?
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are as many as 600 million persons with disability today. Sad to say, of this 600 million, UNICEF has estimated that around one quarter or 150 million are children.
With half of the world's population under 15 years old, the number of adolescents and youth with disability can be expected to rise over the next decades not included the elderly sick people disabled by chronic illnesses due to aging, injuries, and other complications because of old age.Â
In the United States alone, for example, Americans with disabilities constitute the third-largest minority (after persons of Hispanic origin and African Americans); all three of those minority groups number in the 30-some millions in America. According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, as of 2004, there were some 32 million adults (aged 18 or over) in the United States, plus another 5 million children and youth (under age 18).
Adolescents and youth are at increased risk for acquiring a disability due to work-related injuries and risk taking behavior (including motor vehicle accidents, experimentation with drugs and unprotected sex). Furthermore, many chronic disabling illnesses and mental health conditions first appear only during the second decade of lives.

History of Wheelchair
This is an early photo of a wheelchair fitted with Mecanum wheels, taken at an exhibition in the early 1980's.The history of wheelchair started dating way back 530 BC when the Greeks placed wheels on a bed, creating the first known wheeled furniture. By 525 ad, the Chinese had placed wheels on chairs. However the first recognisable wheelchair was invented for King Phillip II of Spain. A drawing of the King dated 1595 shows him in a chair with wheels, armrests and footrests. However, it was not self propelled, and perhaps had a closer resemblance to a highchair than a wheelchair of today.
The modern wheelchair began to take shape in the late 19th century to early 20th century with the advent of push rims for self-propulsion in 1881, and wire spoked wheels replacing wooden ones in 1900.
The 20th century saw a rapid development in wheelchairs, from the first motorised wheels in 1918, to the first folding wheelchair, built in 1933 by Herbert B. Everest, paralysed in 1919 in a mining accident, and his friend Harry C. Jennings Sr., a mechanical engineer. By the mid 1970s Errol Markheim at Sopur in Germany, Jeff Minnebraker at Quadra in California, and Rainier Kuschall in Europe, had all created lightweight, aluminum, highly-adjustable chairs.
The most recent two decades have seen the progress in the modern wheelchair accelerate. They are lighter and perform better than ever before. There are now many possibilities available to improve the ride, from suspension systems which help to remove vibrations and jolts, to ultra-light weight frames which enable better performance, to special designs for every individualised need and taste.

Twenty-one Years Living with Disability -My Story
A lot of my friends still wondering what could have been the enemy that stricken me. Some of the strangers that I came across the street often stop and take a minute to look at me as if there's something wrong with me. From the moment that I become a toddler I already knew that I am different from everyone else. In our family, we rarely discuss it because no one knew the real cause behind it. Not until I entered the age of 10, there I was diagnosed to have a Idiopathic Osteolysis Carpotarsal, a rare bone disease. I was told by my doctor that I could never walk again and it's much better to get my knees to be fixed in a wheelchair. I totally don't remember what it is like my initial reaction.But, of course, my Mom who is my only companion at that time was so devastated hearing the bad news. I don't know how many of (us) kids nor adults in the world with the same case as I am. I can relate to the feeling as if you're life has been into an abyss of confusion how to pick up the pieces together and learned to move into one places to another literally in a possible way that you can do. Until my family decided me to undergo a series of operation to lessen the deformity and somehow to stop any complications that occur in my later age.
Bringing up again all the same issues, I never thought it in a negative way that would only caused me pain. With the hope in my heart that everything that we have right now is temporary gives me a sort of happiness thinking that Jehovah God has a lot of things in store for me in the future.
So, to those people who are in the same situation, a lot of times you might feel how life's unfair just don't lose hope soon you will discover something in your talent uniquely your own. Strive for the best and God will do the rest.
Always remember to P-U-S-H!
Stands for:
P - pray
U - until
S - something
H - happens!!
2 Corinthians 4:7: However, we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the power beyond what is normal may be God's and not that out of ourselves.

Targeted Cancer Therapy
Part of the award winning public television series Healthy Body/Healthy Mind. For dozens of years, the most common forms of cancer treatments included traditional chemotherapy, radiation and possibly surgery. Now newer medications are emerging, thanks to advances in science. Research has brought about a better understanding of cancer on a molecular level. This understanding is resulting in medicines that zero in on properties unique to cancer cells, allowing those medicines to selectively affect cancer with the potential of less collateral damage to healthy cells in the body. This program, "Targeted Cancer Therapy," describes how targeted therapies work, and introduces patients and families who are finding hope and healing where there once was none.

Disabled (A poem by Wilfred Owen)
A poem about war, disablism- the inequality experience by disabled people in this modern society.
He sat in a wheeled chair, waiting for dark,And shivered in his ghastly suit of grey,
Legless, sewn short at elbow. Through the park
Voices of boys rang saddening like a hymn,
Voices of play and pleasure after day,
Till gathering sleep had mothered them from him.
About this time Town used to swing so gay
When glow-lamps budded in the light-blue trees
And girls glanced lovelier as the air grew dim,
- In the old times, before he threw away his knees.
Now he will never feel again how slim
Girls' waists are, or how warm their subtle hands,
All of them touch him like some queer disease.
There was an artist silly for his face,
For it was younger than his youth, last year.
Now he is old; his back will never brace;
He's lost his colour very far from here,
Poured it down shell-holes till the veins ran dry,
And half his lifetime lapsed in the hot race,
And leap of purple spurted from his thigh.
One time he liked a bloodsmear down his leg,
After the matches carried shoulder-high.
It was after football, when he'd drunk a peg,
He thought he'd better join. He wonders why . . .
Someone had said he'd look a god in kilts.
That's why; and maybe, too, to please his Meg,
Aye, that was it, to please the giddy jilts,
He asked to join. He didn't have to beg;
Smiling they wrote his lie; aged nineteen years.
Germans he scarcely thought of; and no fears
Of Fear came yet. He thought of jewelled hilts
For daggers in plaid socks; of smart salutes;
And care of arms; and leave; and pay arrears;
Esprit de corps; and hints for young recruits.
And soon, he was drafted out with drums and cheers.
Some cheered him home, but not as crowds cheer Goal.
Only a solemn man who brought him fruits
Thanked him; and then inquired about his soul.
Now, he will spend a few sick years in Institutes,
And do what things the rules consider wise,
And take whatever pity they may dole.
To-night he noticed how the women's eyes
Passed from him to the strong men that were whole.
How cold and late it is! Why don't they come
And put him into bed? Why don't they come?

- William,
Please forward this email to the appropriate Shell departments, including Legal.
I received the letter dated June 27, 2007. This message is not intended to be a legal response as it is in electronic form. The content is intended to inform and clarify, as public awareness of matters related to disability is usually quite low. - AmpuTeeHee
- It is a rare moment to see me pimping, promoting, or reviewing any sort of product, book, or movie on this blog. I choose to leave that to folks have that talent.
So hear me loud and clear: If I am telling you about something I have used, read, or seen, it's because it has had a deep impact on me and I don't want you to miss out on a great thing. - Cinemachair
- As someone who shamefully admits to loving the old "Dark Shadows" soap when I was a kid, and also enjoying the 1991 remake....
It appears Johnny Depp was a fan too...So much so that there's a project afoot that has Depp in the role of Barnabas Collins.... - Diary of a Goldfish
- Life has been full amid this fuzz. I won't say sorry for my spell of absence, but I do hope nobody was anxious that I was either very sick or had deserted you. I've not been suffering, it's not been a particularly grim time. I've just not been able to think about or write much (an or which implies I sometimes write a lot without thinking; perhaps so). But I've been reading lots, listening to music, watching daft films and I am feeling a bit brighter now. I have even made some progress with my book.
- Growing up with a disability
- Welcome to the 21st Disability Blog Carnival! Thanks to all who participated, and thanks to our fabulous organizer, Penny Richards. The topic for this carnival is Top Ten Lists, and people put together a variety of lists on a variety of topics. There were, however, some common themes to our lists.

Very honest and a hard effort to make people realize that they should take care of their old family members. Great Lens, It becomes very hard sometimes when you have to travel and Travel Wheelchair are smaller and lighter, and they often are not as durable. But for their cheap price, they do afford you the ability to never be without a wheelchair, even when your full-sized, motorized wheelchair is at home.

that is a little more exciting and comfortable, the time may go by a little faster.
