Wish Granted! Teen Receives Quantum Stretto Power Wheelchair Through Make-A-Wish® Foundation

CHESTERFIELD, MO – Austyn Martin likes things that look sleek and go fast. Whether it’s a luxury sports car or a customized state-of-the-art power wheelchair, Martin wants a cool ride. In response to his wish, Quantum Rehab® recently donated a Stretto Power Chair to Martin as part of his wish from the Make-A-Wish Missouri & Kansas chapter.

Austyn loves sports cars and his new Stretto Motorized Wheelchair

Martin, 17, of Tunas, MO, was born with spinal muscular atrophy and requires the use of a power wheelchair. Because Martin has a love of sports cars, the chair was presented at Holman Motorcars St. Louis, an Aston Martin dealership, where Martin was able to see the luxury cars up close.

An additional surprise was a set of authentic Aston Martin Wings donated by Aston Martin. The wings are on the back of Martin’s power wheelchair.

Martin’s custom-made Stretto features iLevel® technology, which offers 12 inches of power lift while operating the chair at speeds up to 3.5 miles per hour. iLevel’s patented Extra Stability Technology® enhances safety for transfers, reach and numerous other activities of daily living.

“It’s going to help me so much because instead of being below eye level, like where everybody looks down and thinks, ‘Well, I don’t know if I want to talk to him,’ I’ll be up there when I’m looking at them and they’ll notice me for who I am,” Martin said.

Jay Brislin, Vice President of Quantum Rehab, says the company was happy to help.

“At Quantum Rehab, consumer needs and wishes are our driving force,” Brislin said. “We are pleased to partner with the Make-A-Wish Missouri & Kansas chapter to grant Austyn’s wish of a Quantum Stretto power wheelchair. Working together, we fitted Austyn to make sure his power chair meets his needs. In addition, thanks to the generosity of Aston Martin sports cars, we were able to further customize Austyn’s power chair by affixing a genuine set of Aston Martin Wings to it since Austyn loves sports cars.”

Ashley Wray, Wish Specialist at Make-A-Wish Missouri & Kansas, says Austyn’s wish would not have been possible without the support of Quantum Rehab and Holman Motorcars.

“Both of these partners have worked together to make this surprise, and his wheelchair, something really special,” Wray said. “Austyn was shocked to find out that his one true wish came to fruition and it will be a memory his whole family can cherish.”

Things People Say to Me and My Husband

My husband and I have been together for over three years. We’ve been married for about seven months. We have a home together, some cats and dogs, stable jobs and disagree about at what temperature the thermostat should be set. All in all, I’d say we’re a pretty average couple. Despite how boringly average we are, people always have questions and comments about the fact that we both use wheelchairs. Here are some of the common things people say to us and our responses.

I’m so glad you two found each other! It gives me hope for my [friend/child/other person] who uses a wheelchair that they might find love someday.

Whoa. You thought that because a person in your life uses a wheelchair, that means they won’t find love? That’s not a positive way to view wheelchair users. Wheelchair users are very capable of both being loved and loving someone else. My husband and I both dated many people before we found each other. In fact, we both dated wheelchair users and people who walk. We both loved so many people before we fell in love with each other. Lots of our exes loved us too. Please don’t think that wheelchair users are any less capable of being in a loving relationship than anyone else is.

Did you two get married because you both use wheelchairs?

No. We got married because, despite our disagreements on household temperatures, we love each other and want to spend the rest of our lives together. Our wheelchairs have nothing to do with it. Like I said before, my husband and I have both dated and loved many people before we found each other. Many of those people were not wheelchair users. In fact, I was engaged to a completely able-bodied man a few years before I met my husband. I will say that I feel my husband and I understand each other on a unique level because we share many similar experiences as wheelchair users. That is not why we got married. If that was the only criteria for choosing a spouse, then WOW. My husband and I would be married to other people. We both also dated other wheelchair users before we met. And I, for one, am very happy I didn’t marry any of those other guys (wheelchair users and walking!), My husband is a better match for me than any of the other guys were.

You’re so cute together! Can I take your picture?

No. Absolutely not. That’s really weird and inappropriate. Unless you’re our friends and you want to take our picture because you know us and love us, please don’t ask to take our picture. We are not a circus sideshow. We are not objects to be gawked at and we do not appreciate you treating us like we are a spectacle. I can’t tell you how many times people ask this of us, like it’s perfectly normal to ask strangers if you can take their picture (That’s not normal!). Often we’re just eating breakfast or walking our dogs, and people will approach us to take our picture. That’s not okay. Or worse, people will take our picture without asking us. Please just don’t do this.

You shouldn’t have kids.

Yes, people really say this to us. And yes, they’re serious. They usually have two reasons:

Because you’re wheelchair users, you won’t be able to care for children; and
If your disabilities are hereditary, it is cruel for you to have children and risk that they’ll have the same disability as you.

Both of these reasons, and their initial statement that we shouldn’t have kids, are ignorant, rude, and ableist. First, of course disabled people can raise children! Having a disability in no way would make us lesser parents. We both know so many incredible parents with disabilities. To think we would be less capable of raising children because we have disabilities is just ridiculous. Second, my husband and I are both successful, happy, and proud people with disabilities. So, what does it matter if our children also have disabilities? Disability is a part of diversity. There is nothing wrong with being disabled. As long as our children are happy and loved, that’s really all that matters.

Traveling to Washington D.C. with a Motorized Wheelchair

Visiting and exploring our nation’s capital in a motorized wheelchair is very easy thanks to the wheelchair accessible Metro system. Plus, Washington D.C. offers many accessible taxis and ridesharing services. Consider visiting the Smithsonian museum, which is fully accessible and free to the public. You can visit the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, which is more like a park. It has a statue of FDR sitting in a wheelchair.

School’s Out for the Summer

For the past two years, I have taught a college-level class on disability person centered planning during the Spring semester. I started teaching this class last year, in the Spring of 2020, and as you can imagine, with a worldwide pandemic, things got tricky pretty fast!

I began in January of 2020 with an in-person class. Using my Edge 3 Power Wheelchair, I rolled to the college from my law office since they were about a 10 minute walk from each other. It was a nice break from the legal world and I really enjoyed my students. Also, I was very thankful to have my iLevel power wheelchair because I found it really helped me when I was teaching in the front of the room. Elevating my wheelchair helped me to see all of my students. It also helped me to write on the whiteboard and reach the elevated computer, which was on a podium.

Teaching During a Pandemic

Stephanie in her Edge 3 Power Wheelchair

My class was full of students who were enthusiastic to learn about how they could be great services providers to people with disabilities. I loved going to class to teach them twice a week. Then, the pandemic hit. All of the sudden, things got a lot more difficult for me and for my students. Many of my students were essential workers who were required to report to work for longer shifts, meaning that they could not attend virtual class. Other students did not have internet or a home computer. They depended on the school’s library and computer lab to do their work and the school was closed.

I worked diligently to ensure each of my students were still able to pass the class. I had to get pretty creative! I posted materials for my students to read and videos for them to watch at their convenience. For students who did not have internet access, I called them and taught them the materials. It was a wild ride! In the end, all but one student stuck with us and passed the class!

A New Semester, a New Experience

The Spring semester of 2021 was much different. This year we started the school year completely virtual. Each student had access to technology and the internet, thanks in part to the school, which can now provide equipment to students in need. Instead of teaching at the front of a classroom, I taught from my home office. I was worried that the students would not get a great learning experience with online classes. Thankfully, I was wrong!

Each student was engaged, contributed to our discussions and in the end, they learned so much. At the end of this semester, my students each wrote a reflection about what they’ve learned and how they can serve as better allies to people with disabilities. My students wrote incredible reflections about how they have learned not to pity people with disabilities. They now understand appropriate language to use. They recognize that they have bias and will work to address their biases through reflection and engaging with more people with disabilities.

While I still miss the physical classroom, I am thankful for the technology that has allowed me to continue teaching and my students to continue learning in a manner that is safe during this pandemic.

Wheelchair-Accessible Kansas City

The most wheelchair-accessible city I’ve been to is Kansas City, Missouri. I was asked to come down and participate in an art show. So, I figured I’d go down and check it out. Why not, right? Once we got our accommodations booked, I was ready to fly out and try this new place. Kansas City is really not far from where I live now. It’s just hours away.

Once we arrived, we had no problem getting to our van. We didn’t even have to take a shuttle. There was an Uber available and it was a wheelchair-accessible minivan. It was super dope! This was the first time I’ve seen it. Even though St. Louis and Kansas City are in the same state, there is absolutely no Uber or any other ride-sharing app available where I live. For some reason, the state doesn’t want to pay for the insurance, but that’s a whole other issue.

Wheelchair Accessible Transportation

With our Uber there waiting for us, we made it to the hotel, got comfortable and got our things settled. When we went to the art show the next day, we needed a taxi. We went down to the hotel lobby as soon as we called for one. The taxi came in 15 minutes. In St. Louis, if you have to take a taxi, and it can take forever to get there. Our taxi driver took us to the art venue and gave us a card. He told us to call as soon as we’re ready to leave. So, we called them ahead of time and the taxi was there within 10 minutes. Great service! They were very courteous and awesome. The drivers went out of their way to make sure everybody was comfortable and the ride was very soft and safe. Sometimes, taxi drivers drive like maniacs, which can make for a bumpy ride. This is bad for people like us better in wheelchairs or power wheelchairs.

Sidewalks and Curb Cuts

The sidewalks in Kansas City were very smooth and there were plenty of curb cuts so I had no problem driving around the city in my Edge® 3 Power Wheelchair. It was a very comfortable ride, even though it was cold out!

Moving with a Disability

Last summer, I called up a friend to let her know I was planning to come down to Florida for the winter and I wanted to meet up for lunch. My friend also happens to be my realtor.

Even though I am from New York and I’m still a New York resident, I own property in Florida. Owning property in Florida allows me to come down south and stay warm during the cold New York winters. The warmth helps my muscles and does a world of good for me, so I can live an independent and active lifestyle.

Selling My Place in Florida

When I spoke to my realtor, she asked me if I ever considered selling my place. I told her I never thought of selling because my place in Florida is more than a property. I consider it a necessity at this stage of my life due to my disability. Towards the end of summer, the housing market was booming, and people were flooding to buy property in Florida with the low interest rates. My friend asked me if she could have an appraiser come to my place just to see what my property was worth. I told her sure! I liked the number they came back with. So, my place was on the market for just over one week and went into a bidding war. I was shocked. Then slowly, my shock turned to fear. At this point, it was almost October and now I didn’t have a place to live in Florida and stay warm. Thankfully, I stayed with a family member this winter while I looked for a new place.

Moving with a Disability

When you have a disability, it is not so easy to just pick up everything and move. I have friends who can move at the drop of a hat. I never thought of how involved the process is for people with disabilities, especially when you are like me and can’t lift heavy things. It becomes a logistical nightmare trying to coordinate all the moving parts.

The thing that I found the most surprising is that there are a lot of Durable Medical Equipment (DME) providers that sell and service Quantum® products. Almost every major town has a dealer with a technician. Where my property was, I had a great relationship with my local dealer. Their location was only a 10-15 minutes away. If I ever needed service performed on my Edge® 3 Power Wheelchair, they were always close by to help.

My Wish List for a New Home

Currently, I am working with my realtor to find a new place to live. Obviously, finding a property that has an open floor plan and wheelchair accessibility is a big part of my list. Another requirement is that I want to be close to a local Quantum dealer. My realtor found this very interesting. She had told me I was the first person to ask her for a property close to a DME provider.

I also wanted my future home to be close to a dealership that can work and service my wheelchair-accessible van with electronic hand controls. My vehicle is custom built, just like my power wheelchair. I must take my wheelchair-accessible van for maintenance at a special dealership that is trained to assist with these types of vehicles.

I continue to search for a property. I am very thankful I can think of these things ahead of time. Even though I may have to wait longer to find a house, compared to most of my friends who can just pick up and move, I know having these services close to my new home is vital to me living an independent life. To me, that is what is important. So, next time you consider moving, make sure you look into how close your motorized wheelchair provider is. It could make a big difference in the future.

National Women’s Checkup Day

Every year, the second Monday of May is National Women’s Checkup Day and it is part of National Women’s Health Week. National Women’s Health Week starts on Mother’s Day every year and is a weeklong health observance to remind women and girls to make their health a priority and take care of themselves. It is especially important to remind and encourage girls and women with disabilities to make their health a priority and go for a checkup. According to the National Council on Disability, people with disabilities tend to be in poorer health. They also use health care at a significantly higher rate than people who do not have disabilities. Additionally, people with disabilities are more likely to have a secondary condition. Most importantly, we use preventive services at a lower rate than nondisabled people.

Health and Wellness for Individuals with Disabilities

Even though it is more important for people with disabilities to go for a routine checkup as a preventative measure, it is not simple for us to do so. In fact, disabled people are more likely to experience barriers to healthcare, including inaccessible medical offices and inaccessible exam equipment. Disabled people also experience discrimination from healthcare providers and a lack of accommodations.

Mammograms and pap tests are critically important for all women. One report found that fewer women with disabilities report receiving these important tests than women without disabilities. The most commonly cited reason women with disabilities did not receive these tests? They were unable to get into the required position or get onto the examination table.

Disability Discrimination from Healthcare Providers

Studies show that healthcare providers often hold bias against women with disabilities. For example, when a woman with a disability seeks medical care, the provider may only focus on her disability, even if that is not the reason she is seeking care. Medical providers also often fail to provide reasonable accommodations for women with disabilities. These accommodations may include sign language interpreters for Deaf women, appointments that align with public transportation for disabled women who cannot drive, or information in large print for women with visual disabilities.

For these reasons, it is less important for us to emphasize what women with disabilities should do to access to healthcare. It is more important to emphasize what the healthcare system should do! After all, it is the healthcare system that is making it difficult for women with disabilities to receive care.

Inclusive Solutions for Our Healthcare System

Medical schools should provide specific training on treating women with disabilities;
Medical providers should engage with the Disability Community to provide an access review of their offices and exam equipment, and remedy any barriers that are identified;
Providers must ensure that follow-up information is provided in accessible formats;
Providers should work collaboratively with other disability service agencies to provide holistic care, such as working with medical transportation and social services agencies.
Offices that are accessible should advertise this on their websites and perform outreach specifically to disability organizations so that women with disabilities can learn about the accessible medical care options in their community.

Golfing with My iLevel® Wheelchair

Golfing season is here! I really love being outside, surrounded by nature and all that green grass. I love the smell of fresh-cut grass. The great thing about golf is that it can be played by almost everyone. If you are in a power wheelchair, have an amputation or injury, golf is the kind of sport that can be played comfortably, regardless of your ability.

I love playing golf with my twin brother, Bobby, and my manager, Dick. We always have a blast and these days, it’s an activity we can do together safely.

Using My Edge® 3 Power Wheelchair on the Golf Course

My power wheelchair has pretty good battery life. It usually lasts 18 holes unless the grass is really wet. Take it from me: if you use a motorized wheelchair to get around, don’t go golfing in the early morning. All the moisture on the grass makes driving a motorized wheelchair challenging. Still, it’s great that my power chair can handle driving on different types of terrain. I attended the U.S. Senior Open a few years ago and drove my Edge 3 through some pretty tall grass. You can check out the video here.

Playing Golf with Modified Equipment

Individuals with disabilities can use different types of equipment that allow them to participate in the game. Some club shafts are bent for people who need to remain seated, like motorized wheelchair users. There are also gloves and grip aids, including prosthetic golf grip devices. Accessories, such as tee setters and ball retrieval systems help reduce bending.

How I Golf with iLevel®

Using my Edge® 3 motorized wheelchair with iLevel® technology, I can golf with one hand. When I am ready to take my swing, I use my prosthetic arm to grab onto my left armrest behind the arm pad. I clamp down so I have leverage and support. Then I use my good hand, swing and whack the ball. It takes some practice at first. I’m getting pretty good. It really surprises me at how well I can hit the ball. Practice makes perfect. Don’t be afraid to try!

Hope to see you out on the links!

Qualifying Diagnoses and Kids Wheelchairs

If your child was recently diagnosed with a condition that affects their mobility, complex rehab equipment may help them live independently. Serious medical conditions, such as Friedreich’s ataxia, spinal muscular atrophy and osteogenesis imperfecta, can require specialized equipment to provide mobility and meet functional and medical needs. A kids wheelchair, such as the Edge 3 Stretto®, accepts a wide range of components, including seating and positioning, drive controls, wheelchair cushions and much more. Speak to your child’s physician, therapist or other clinician about your child’s mobility needs. They can perform an evaluation and determine which components are right for your child.

Kids Wheelchairs and Friedreich’s Ataxia

If your child loses muscle coordination and develops unsteady movements, they can benefit from postural support. TRU-Balance® 3 Power Positioning Systems is available on the Edge 3 Stretto kids wheelchair. TRU-Balance 3 offers many options, including tilt, recline, power articulating leg rests, power articulating foot platform and power adjustable seat height. These components can ensure proper comfort, skin integrity and positioning. For additional comfort and support, there are many Quantum® wheelchair cushions designed to meet pressure needs.

Osteogenesis Imperfecta and Kids Wheelchairs

If your child is living with osteogenesis imperfecta, they may qualify for alternate drive controls to help them operate their kids wheelchair. Q-Logic 3 Advanced Drive Controls, available on the Edge 3 Stretto, is an expandable controller system. If your child cannot operate the standard joystick, their power wheelchair can be fitted with alternative drive controls such as a head array or chin control. Q-Logic 3 comes standard with Bluetooth® technology, so your child can operate their tablet or cell phone using the Q-Logic 3 screen.

The Best Kids Wheelchair for Spinal Muscular Atrophy

When it comes to kids living with spinal muscular atrophy, the Edge 3 Stretto can be customized to meet the changing medical needs of your child. Your child may lose their ability to complete simple tasks independently, which is why iLevel® power adjustable seat height is so beneficial! iLevel is an available option on the Stretto wheelchair and can elevate users up to 12 inches in height. iLevel’s Extra Stability Technology® enhances safety, so your child can complete daily activities such as reaching, transferring, toileting and grooming.

Questions About My Stretto Wheelchair

I get many questions from curious people about my Edge 3 Stretto® Narrow Wheelchair with iLevel®. People ask how fast my wheelchair goes or how high it rises. I have heard it all! I hope to answer some of those questions in this blog.

How fast does my power wheelchair go?

I normally answer people rather easily but sometimes it can get repetitive. I tell the people that it goes around 6.25 mph when I’m in the seated position. When I am elevated at iLevel, the maximum speed is 3.5 mph. I tell people about my personal experiences of how I went over the average speed by going downhill when I was younger and more adventurous.

Do I sleep in my power wheelchair?

This one is pretty interesting to me and once again, not hard to answer. I personally don’t sleep in my wheelchair because I feel my bed is more comfortable. Questions like these show how curious people are about wheelchairs.

How high can my iLevel go?

I always get this question when I am out and about at either a restaurant or in the community. One of my favorite local restaurants has high-top tables. Every time we go, we sit at one of the higher tables, which allows me to show off the iLevel feature. I tell people that my wheelchair lifts me up 12 inches and explain how it gives me a new sense of independence.

Can my Stretto narrow wheelchair go off road or onto different surfaces?

Many times, I answer this question by showing people what my Stretto can handle. I drive in the grass and it surprises people to see me do it. I like to see the looks on their faces when I demonstrate what my wheelchair can do. The Stretto has independent SRS (Smooth Ride Suspension), which absorbs any bumps I drive over, giving me a smooth and comfortable ride.

Does my wheelchair have a horn?

This is my favorite question! When people ask me, I simply press the horn button. Most of the time, it makes the person jump! The horn can be loud the first time you hear it. It amazes people.

I love it when people ask questions! and it allows me to show off my amazing Stretto narrow wheelchair. The average person has many questions, especially when they see a state-of-the-art wheelchair like the Stretto. Quantum wheelchairs look futuristic and immediately capture the attention of almost everyone. I personally feel that these types of questions are good and can help people learn more about the product. I have heard many questions and I look forward to what other people ask in the future.
