You might contact Carlos Moleda at his website. He is a former SEAL with a service connected SCI. He has a great program for training and would be a good resource for setting up the chair.

It's critical that the chair and your stroke is right otherwise you are setting yourself up for some major shoulder and lower back injuries. Cross training is esp. important. Good Luck.
