“"My name is Peter and I am 31 years old, I have a high level spinal injury and I am living alone. I was wondering how long I would be able to carry on with the tasks of day to day living until I heard about Care For You. I was tired of not having carers turn up and carers with poor skills relative to my needs. My case manager told me about another service that I should contact. I did and after an interview, I was sent caring, compassionate caregivers that were uniquely trained and suited my needs, enabling me to remain in the home I love." ” Mr P. Client

Taxol stabilizes growing nerve cells and reduces the barrier-function of scar tissue
After a spinal cord injury a number of factors impede the regeneration of nerve cells. Two of the most important of these factors are the destabilization of the cytoskeleton and the development of scar tissue. While the former prevents regrowth of cells, the latter creates a barrier for severed nerve cells.
Apps designed for SmartPhones (Blackberry, Iphone, Android) and IPads can help increase independence and improve the quality of life for people who have limited mobility from paralysis. These apps can be powerful tools for people living with a spinal cord injury or using a wheelchair due to another injury or disease. The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation have created the Guide to the Best Apps for People Living with Paralysis to help people find those apps that will most enhance their lives.
