These can be so severe in the case of a tetraplegic that they can throw you out of bed or out of your chair.
There seems to be a remarkable lack of residential facilities for the tetraplegics.
In the case of tetraplegics we are talking about catheterisation and manual evacuation of the bowel.
For whatever reason, the care was not of the standard needed to nurse a relatively young tetraplegic.
Some of their members, like high tetraplegics (neck injuries), need electric wheelchairs for indoor and outdoor use.
Another man, again tetraplegic from the age of 19, needs 24-hour care from two personal assistants the whole time.
I am thinking in terms of tetraplegics, paraplegics, and people with advanced multiple sclerosis.
They have had serious injuries and by breaking their necks have become tetraplegics.
