Sip & Puff Chair

[Quadstein]

I just wanted to know from any quads out here who use the "sip&puff" wheelchair control system, if they found it as complicated as I'm finding it?

Currently I have a week trial on the Permobil "Chairman Vertical" which was recommended by my Physiotharpist, becausing I'm finding it increasingly a pain in the but with my spasams, kicking in at the wrong time, when driving my current chin control wheelchair. I'm finding this siping and puffing, and light puff and soft puff, just a wee bit annoying - is it just a steeper learning curve?

No complications whatsoever with my sip and puff chair. It was the easiest thing for me to learn when I was in rehab. It works so well that I would not give it up for anything. Well, except for one thing....

For that "one thing.." I'd be willing to give my chair as well!

Anyway, back to this chair, While I admit its a better chair, I just think I'm loosing where I'm puffed, or sipped!

thanks for your feedback
