Has anyone used a door resistance system like this one http://ca.fitter1.com/Lifeline-train...r-or-wall.html

Did it work OK from a wheelchair?

That looks interesting and affordable for us poor people. (One more year of school, blah!) I would think as long as you lock the door to prevent it from cracking you in the face that it would work. Not sure how you just the hieght of the resistance band for us quads, I'm sure there is a way just have to be creative about it.

$50 (USD) @ Amazon (link), might be worth trying out. Some of the best post-sci work I've done on my triceps was w/ a cable/pulley system in the position as the image on the left, yet done sideways, pushing the cable up (vs. the stance she's in):
