Please share your experience with spinal muscular atrophy assistive devices.

  1. I've found that having a custom-made seating device, standing table and an electric wheelchair were very helpful. Marc M., Moderator, SpinalMuscularAtrophy.Net

    1. I would say flying turtle helps me a lot. especially in moving around the house. Beside wheelchair that would be my main "transportation" to move around. Ainaa, Moderator of SpinalMuscularAtrophy.net

      1. An adaptive electric wheelchair lift for a custom-fit van. Marc M., Moderator, spinalmuscularatrophy.net

        1. I’ve found having a custom made wheelchair seat has been the only thing I can comfortable sit on that supports my butt and back and doesn’t make me feel like I’m sliding out of my seat. If I sit on other things my body seems to just collapse like jello. -Jennifer Moderator, SpinalMuscularAtrophy.net
