Hi Luke,   Got some answers for you, hope they are of some help to you!   1. Yes, I push a manual chair. 2. I haven't had a shoulder injury due to pushing, although I have developed further wrist problems through pushing. 3. I was straight away put in a manual chair as I'm a paraplegic.  They are very against me using an electric chair or getting someone to push me as they feel pushing myself is an excellent form of exercise for me!   Hope that's of some help,   Love Smurf xxx   ps. incase you need it my name is Sarah and Im a T6 paraplegic.   In a message dated 01/10/2005 15:54:59 GMT Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: hey all   im writing an essay for school and wondering if you would answer few questions:   can or could you push a manual wheelchair?   do you have a shoulder injury from pushing a manual chair?   has a rehab center, doctor, etc. suggested pushing a manual chair to build arm strength?   thanks guys.  all input and suggestions are helpful.   Luke
