Sam - Life on Wheels
Добавлен 19 сен 2017
Hello and a very warm welcome to my channel!
My name is Sam, I'm 33 and I'm from the UK near London, England. I was injured in Feb 2017 from a near-fatal motorcycle accident on a racetrack in Spain whilst doing a track Day, which was a huge hobby of mine.
So, why have i started this channel?
I used to lay in my hospital bed watching RUclips videos of others going about their daily life as paraplegics and learned a lot from watching their videos, but struggled to find good quality instructional 'how-to' videos. I decided I could create my own instructional videos to help others in a similar situation, but concentrate on teaching the skills I've learned through my relatively short paraplegic life. My goal is to create a channel that covers everything I do on a daily basis, and turn it into the ultimate guide for those with spinal cord injuries, their families and even physio looking for further information.
I hope you enjoy my channel, and be sure to subscribe for future videos

Managing bladder and preventing UTIs after SCI - T2 Paraplegic
In this video I talk about how I manage my bladder and prevent UTIs. I’ve had some experience in this, and did a lot of research to come up with my ideas that I use, so why not do a video to save you the time?!

Paraplegic Physiotherapy and rehab after spinal cord injury
Просмотров 4,3 тыс.6 лет назад
Ongoing rehab after a spinal injury is something which should be undertaken in my opinion wherever possible. This will improve function in the muscles that work, and perhaps for those who have an incomplete injury or are seeing improvements it will go a long way to help maximise potential gains. I only found out about Neurokinex around 5 months after discharge from the spinal unit, where I’d ha...

Paraplegic stair climbing on my bum
Просмотров 24 тыс.6 лет назад
Here’s a video to show you that stairs aren’t always totally off limits as a paraplegic (I’m T2 complete injured feb 2017). It's really not that hard at all if the stairs have a good, solid banister or handrail to provide extra support. Why should stairs stand in your way as a para?! Give it a go!

Wheelchair Freewheel! A must have for outdoors

If you’re an active wheelchair user, or want to get out and about more, but HATE pavements due to their unevenness and slope towards the road, look no further than the Freewheel! Definitely my most favourite piece of kit to go with the wheelchair, and it makes life so much easier travelling longer distances and over uneven terrain. Combined with off road tyres you can really tackle some horribl...

I’m a wheelchair user too and I have a question, your lower half is it naked or are your clothes pooled around your ankles as you do these transfers. If so how easy is it to pull them all back up into the correct place?
Brilliant video mate very useful
Nice video
Wow you’re amazing
Thank you for the tips. I do not have damage to my spine,but other issues so I cannot bear weight on my left foot at times due to severe plantar faciatitis and chronic tendonitis. During these times I use a wheelchair around the house. It's too hard to use crutches,due to weakness on my so called good leg/foot. Biggest chalange is using the toilet. Your tips did help,thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to make this, much appreciated
Thanks for your help I'm new to long term cathertization. Your a real help. I have no feeling in my blader currently waiting on numerous tests after a accident at work in 2023. I'm sure you will no what I mean. Take care.
Can you do a video of you trying to move your legs and tell us what it feels like wen you try
Great vid. I use a different technique, but this is very handy for people to see 😊
Bitte zeigt nicht solchen mist
Das haut nicht hin was ist mit der hose an und ausziehen? Das ist am schwierigstens
well done! I m glad they have two bannisters and you are able to move to a more comfortable room!
Could you put your wheelchair on the back and take it with you?
You searched this up because you were curious
I really appreciate this. We are designing our house so we can live in it even in a wheelchair, and videos like this are very helpful to understand the challenges with being abulatory in a home that wasn't desgned for anything but someone fully fit. Also, lovely smile.

We use a small step stool which is very similar to using the sun lounger as a half way point in and out of the pool and chair. However, nice video, thank you. Mom of T 5 complete.
How can I pop after sci
What do you do for you're nightly routing I'm sorry I didn't hear it right I'm having lots of problems waking up to my cath alarms
Hello Sam this was very interesting just asking out of interest how T levels is their in spine….? Thanks
So I have a very small toilet room, there is no other option than to place the wheelchair directly infront off the toilet. There are no hold-ons on the wall, so how do you transfer like that, with the chair directly infront off the toilet, because right now I need people to help me with that and I don't feel comfortable with that. Any tips are welcome.
Thanks. I I want to get a wheelchair-accessible toilet (the whole room built from scratch) for a school I want to start, and though I now see this is not directly related to what kind of equipment I need to learn about, it's another thing for me to consider. Helpful of you to make this.
Thank you for sharing helpful videos. One of my late brothers was paraplegic. I am so grateful to you, and other people, for sharing helpful information. Blessings to all in love and light. 🙏🏼💜🙏🏼💙🙏🏼💚🙏🏼💛🙏🏼🧡🙏🏼
I have an accident over 6months ago I can stand up and transfer to the toilet but I haven't been able to transfer I can't transfer to the wheelchair to the shower.
Do you have a video on how to clean the bathtub.
Very helpful. Thanks for posting
Actually this could cause a serious stress on your buttock. The skin there is so fragile and to leave your air cushion could cause bumps and pressures that could create pressure sores. Trust me, surgery treating a pressure sore is much more difficult than preventing one
I think your videos are inspirational! I'm a recently diagnosed MS patient with limited leg movement and sensation below the knee. Learning to navigate the world in a wheelchair has not been an easy thing, especially transferring from one object to another. You make something I know is NOT easy look completely doable and natural. Thank you for sharing your journey and life tips. <3
Thanks as a good illustration of how Ah go to the restroom. I recently fail and I'm in a wheelchair and I'm just curious at how people are using and transferring from the wheelchair to the toilet because I can stand I fail and hurt my knee so I can stand up and transfer from the wheelchair to the toilet and so uh thank you.
Thank you for the detailed process to do this adjustment. Very valuable!
What level of injury?
T2 complete
thanks for the video brother
I'm glad I've found this really helpful video, thank you.havr you any tips for getting back onto s bed or back onto chair after a fall? I fell last week and spent 5 hours on floor just couldn't manage to get up.
I've got a floor to chair transfer video in my collection. The bed is a bit high to go from the floor, so easier to get back into the chair first
Great video! I am a currently do research regarding these types of transfers and other unmet clinical needs of wheelchair users. If you have the time to share your experience let me know!

wow, I'm on a wheelchair like you but I don't know how to swim :( can you give me a hint how you're doing it?
i have no leg strength or arm strength very difficult to transfer waiting for bacloffen pump see if that helps
I interest for The bike in this video I want will buy
Submit to my channel for quick tips
Nice
Sir would you please tell me the wheelchair model you are using??
Nice👌
As someone who is used to the stability of a powerchair as I'm not afraid it'll tip easily, this gives me hope that I'll manage a manual wheelchair for the times I need to use it. Thanks.
my man. im joseph. back from the war . no leg . long story short i love what your putting out do you have plans or specs. i will have to build my own. can you help me. much love joseph
That's my Dream beast👩🦽😪
Hi Sam, did you have been already To Goodwood Event, is it wheelchair friendly ?
Do you transfer out with the brakes off?
I do now at times, but only certain transfers
