Winter can be a brutal season, especially for those living with paralysis who have trouble regulating their body temperature.
Three wheelchair users familiar with cold climate conditions to provide tips to keep you safe and warm during the coldest months. See Here.
When Beth Sanden crashed her bike after speeding over a wet, broken patch of asphalt 15 years ago, the elite endurance athlete was left paralyzed. She figured her competition days were over.... Source
Our aim is to introduce newcomers to the sport of water skiing who, due to their disability would not have considered the challenge previously possible. Amputee, blind, deaf, sufferers of partial paralysis, paraplegic other wheelchair users, people with Multiple Sclerosis and learning disabilities have all graduated from The British Disabled Water Ski Association.
WSICF works with adults and kids with physical disabilities, including amputations and paralysis, to become involved with active sports.

- New Startup - Halo Neuroscience produced a sport headphone to aid in stimulating muscles through electrifying the brain.
- “tDCS” refers to transcranial direct current stimulation, a delivery system used in stimulating and enhancing neuronal connections, ultimately exciting muscle response.
- Halo Neuroscience, created the headphones primarily for increasing workout performances in elite athletes.
- Electrodes attached to the head bands of the device sends electric pulses to the brain through the scalp, stimulating neuronal activity
- During research performed by Halo Neuroscience, it is found that administration of electric pulses to the brain shows significant enhancement of fine motor skills in adults.
- This device could show immense potential for persons with damaged CNS function, including but not limited to patients of paralysis, caused by advents of stroke.

- Read about the research.
- Watch the demonstration.
