I have to agree with LQ. It is possible to prevent a quad gut by maintaining one's weight and posture. When I was able to stay thin and wore an effective abdominal binder I did not have a quad belly for eight years. My problems started when I was wearing an abdominal binder that had lost its elasticity. Now I have a slight quad belly, but to me it is huge. It is very difficult for quads like myself that have a voracious appetite to maintain weight, but I believe the abdominal binder is an essential part of preventing the quad belly. However, not everyone is able to keep the quad belly at bay. I know other quadriplegics that have maintained their weight and worn abdominal binders only to suffer the quad belly. I would have to guess that well over 90% of quadriplegics will get a quad belly, but this is purely a guess on my part.
Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

i disagree.....in my 7 years i've stayed thin and managed to avoid a quad stomach... also if you keep bowels rather clean you may not look extra fluffy.......
