| | MedFriendly.com: Quadriplegia |
 | | Quadriplegia is most likely to occur when a spinal cord injury is in the area of the 5th to 7th cervical vertebrae (bones in the neck that make up part of the structure surrounding the spinal cord). | | | Quadriplegia is a loss of the ability to move and/or feel both arms, both legs, and the parts of the body below the area of injury to the spinal cord, which is what causes the condition to occur. | | | Quadriplegia is typically caused by an injury to the spinal cord (which sends messages to body parts important for movement and sensation). |

| | Why the UPPERTONE is Uniquely for a Quad Or People With Quadriplegia (Tetraplegia) |
| | Because quadriplegia resulting from spinal cord injury can lead to unequal strength on each side of the body, the UPPERTONE is designed so that resistance is set independently for each upper-body side. | | | Furthermore, the small adjustments to station height allow users to adjust the amount of emphasis that is placed on the complementary muscles that are being strengthened during any exercise. | | | In addition, these small adjustments to station width are also very useful for adjusting the amount of emphasis that is placed on the different muscles that are being strengthened during any exercise. |
