Adapting to life after a spinal cord injury (SCI) can be a scary and difficult process for many reasons. Tasks that were simple before may be challenging or impossible now, which can lead to some very understandable feelings like you’ve lost independence or freedom.
One major area that affects people recovering from an SCI is driving, which to many people represents a fundamental part of mobility and independence. However, thanks to adaptive driving equipment and training, thousands of people with SCIs have been able to relearn to drive and safely get back on the road, even with paraplegic or quadriplegic injuries.
