iPads are being used to treat patients with spinal cord injuries
My son sustained a C4/C5 SCI on 2/1/2010, right before the iPad was released. I was thinking of applications for the iPad even when he was in ICU, because while he was intubated we made charts we could go through to guess his needs and an iPad would be ideal for such an application and could be used at different angles, such as upside down and sideways. While my son was still in the hospital his aunt and uncle gave him an iPad as soon as they were released to the public. He does EVERYTHING on it. He is now breathing on his own, doing great in rehab, has returned to high school and is taking honors level classes. He uses primarily two fingers on the iPad and reads books on it, does research on it, types papers on it, and of course, listens to music and watches movies. It is a brilliant device that does not require the effort of depressing keys and it is much more compact than a standard keyboard. I would love to see Apple partner up with some rehab centers, because the iPad can be life changing.
