SPINAL CORD INJURY RESOURCE & INFORMATION SITE
Paralinks Wheelchair Nation has been gathering valuable information on SCI for over eleven years. This site has been created and maintained by a quadriplegic and a paraplegic and is a grass roots not for profit site. We do not have advertisements nor are we trying to sell you anything. We are here to help find whatever information it is that you need. If it is not listed here ask us and we will do our best to find it to you.
