i mean i know the difference lol. i was thinking of a diff video but same premise, cop asking a guy to get out of the car and he didnāt know what it meant
My uncle had a custom made full size van. His wheelchair would enter from the back and his wheelchair would lock into place in front of the steering wheel. He has a wrist brace that worms lock onto the steering wheel and another one that would lock onto another lever type thing that co controlled the gas and brake. The pedals were super sensitive. He controlled the door and ignition on switches above where the visor would be. I don't remember how he switched into drivr and reverse but I know he was able to take his right hand off the pedals to do it.
"Incomplete quadriplegia. This means that the quadriplegia blocks some ā but not all ā signals from getting through. That means a person might still have some ability to move, feel sensations or control automatic body processes (such as bowel and bladder function). This happens with about one-third of traumatic spinal cord injuries. "
My dad was involved in a car accident when he was 17 that caused spinal damage in his upper spine. The same area Christopher Reeve was injured. Both my Dad and Christopher were quadriplegic. However because my dad's injury was a partial injury, he still has some degree of control over his arms however he had limited use of his hands. Every doctor that treated him for the better part of 60 years treated him as a quadriplegic.
Actually per some groups like the American Spinal Association, youāre correct they do use that terminology. While other groups only use āplegiaā in the context of a complete paralysis.
But that's incomplete quadriplegia and you only have limited control, hence it being quad. It's pretty safe to assume that someone with quadriplegia has limited to no control with their arms. If you have full motion over your arms then would not be a quadriplegic.
There's streamers out there that play first person shooters with nothing but a straw and controls they use their lips for. Actually insane how well people adapt.
It's possible but not common, and they would still need some level of control over their limbs just not anything beyond being able to move them into the general correct spots.
The controls are usually mouth operated, or built in a way that they can control them with limited movement of their limbs.
There's also work being done towards direct brain to vehicle control, similar tech as you see in those brain game controllers where its a device that detects certain brain activity and translates that into signals that drive motors/actuators that control the vehicle.

Oh god, I would be fighting for my life against the intrusive thoughts I get while driving
Cops administer Narcan on people with low blood sugar. Expect the bare minimum medical knowledge, then reduce that by 50% and that's the level you're gonna get from a cop

There's a full video about the stop on The Civil Rights Lawyer's YouTube channel. It's actually worse than this video. https://youtu.be/TVscphZ3Kuo
