Thank you so much for making this inspiring video! I'm an occupational therapy student, and I found your experience really useful for helping me improve the activities of daily living for others who are also spinal cord injury patients.
You're welcome! Awesome, I'm glad you found my video useful! Thank you for watching and commenting!
A will like to have one a have the f3 C4C5
I used the Permobil F3 in this video, but they plan to make it usable on different power wheelchairs. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hi Mason Ellis I wear On Cloud Shoes the are perfect for wide box feet usually I wear woman shoes size 7
I've never heard of On Cloud Shows, but I looked them up, they look nice! I appreciate you sharing! Thank you for watching and commenting!
27:15 too close for comfort 😮 what a nightmare of a dead end 👀 cool video
Haha Yeah, he was controlling the wheelchair with the PlayStation controller. Yeah, dead ends like that are ridiculous and very frustrating. Thank you for watching and commenting!
That looks amazing, scary, but amazing.
I agree! Haha Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@masonx54 I was very impressed with the concept. Can't wait to see the next generation of the thing.
@@BobBowhtr I was impressed with the concept we well, and I plan on making a video about the next version soon!
they need to pay you for talking about how great their shoes are, and they are American made
I appreciate that! Oh yeah, I love american made! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Going to be really cool to watch the advancements in this type of product! Thanks Mason
Yes it is! You're welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hmm, i dunno Mason. I had this wild thought...and call it a fear even...of an Ai controlled wheelchair like this someday strapping you in and doing 40MPH around target someday. Your arms flailing all around as you scream STOP!! But, it paying no attention. Every once in a while it stops and talks to some cute girl in a voice copying yours and makes suggestive statements and you screaming..that's not me!! The chair with you in it pulling up to a cashier and again..in your voice, telling them this is a holdup and give me all your money. Then, taking off out of the store, crashing into people and objects... yelling get the he** out of my way!! Getting you out to your AI controlled van, hauling you up the ramp and in it...and taking off courtesy of all Elon's technology. Don't discount this from happening !! The world of Ai is going to be a VERY different place indeed. 😂 ps: other than that..pretty cool chair and video. 🙂
Haha Thank you for watching and commenting!
Cool chair
It's actually just an adapter that is plugged into a Permobil F3 power wheelchair. They plan for their adaptions to be usea6ble on different kinds of power wheelchairs. Thank you for watching and commenting!
just like a tesla car... you can sleep while it drives you to your desired location. lol seriously though.... thank you for sharing mason. only hope its not priced so high only rich people can have it.
Yep! Haha That's a good point about the price! I will bring that up when I meet with them next. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Amazing technological advancement and great vid. I bought a cabin in Southern Indiana, it being one of the best parts of the country and was curious where this mall is at?
Awesome! This mall is in Bloomington. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Awesome!!! thanks for helping us test Mason !!! we are incorporating a lot of your feedback in upcoming versions
You're welcome, I was glad to have a part in it! ook forward to the improvements and hopefully have the opportunity to try out future versions. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Wow very cool I would love this on my chair! It would also be cool if you could tell it to automatically follow someone!
It is wild! That's a great idea! I will bring that idea to them! Thank you for watching and commenting!
As a wheelchair user, I can absolutely say this is a game changer. I love it when technology is used to make the lives of people with disabilities much better. 👌👌
Awesome! That's one reason why I love technology! Thank you for watching and commenting!
When can it take us to a predetermined destination while we nap? :)
I was wondering the same thing! I would say it's definitely possible. Thank you for watching and commenting!
"It wasn't me lady." hahaha
I'm glad someone caught that! Haha Thank you for watching and commenting!
Wow!! That's stuck a good use for AI
I agree! I had not seen AI used on wheelchairs before this. Thank you for watching and commenting!
This is actually cool, I would love something like this
It was really impressive, and having it on your own wheelchair would be fun! Thank you for watching and commenting!
This is so cool
Yes it is! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Awesome I would like that on my chair
It was really awesome! They said it would be able to attach to most wheelchairs. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Question how did you get out of your power chair and onto the floor????
I had someone help, but I do have a new lift that will allow me to get from my wheelchair to the floor and from the floor to the wheelchair. I plan to make a video this month showing it. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@masonx54 I love watching your videos
@christhompson7820 I appreciate that!
My wheelchair has about 200 mi on it about how many miles can you expect to get out of a power wheelchair someone said mine's about used up but it seems to still be doing a good job
My wheelchair has 956 miles on it right now. How long have you had your wheelchair? I've had mine for three years and average less than one mile per day, which is really low. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@masonx54 4 years I don't have a way to haul it so I use a manual If I go anywhere but it's a good chair I just hope it lasts it's a quantum edge 3
Wow, 2 years? That's an average of 0.13 miles per day.
@@masonx54 4 years hahahahah
That's what I meant, so my calculation is still right. Lol
I just buy 1 size up, never tie the laces. You aint tripping over.
What do you do with the untied laces? Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@masonx54 tuck them down the sides.
@martinball54 That's what I assumed but wondered about them causing pressure sores.
@masonx54 A lace? The trainers are a size bigger, so plenty of room for the laces. Stop assuming your skin will fall apart. I've done it this way since 1987, never an issue. I still sit on a Jay basic 2" cushion. No issues there either. You assume everything you do will cause sores, you end up with baby soft easily affected skin. Obviously be sore aware. Just don't make it an obsession. Red marks are just an indication to give that area a break.
Yeah, I've never had pressure sores. Personally, I prefer just keeping the laces tied and I don't have to mess with them.
I want to do appreciate that explanation. I have a c4 and C5 spinal cord injury. I am my fourth month of recovery walking with a walker so far. Your video taught me a lot thank you very much
That's great you are still able to walk. I wish you the best with your recovery! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you for sharing your story
You're welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Oh there are so many good ideas in this video, it's great!
Awesome, I'm glad you think that! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I had a friend in high school a lot like you in the early 1980s. He was honor student and athlete and this is when 3 wheelers were just coming out. He flipped it over a hill and become a quadriplegic. Also lost 3 good friends in drunk driving accidents. I'm glad you're doing so well now! Your story needs telling and I appreciate you're brave enough to do it, thank you.
Yeah, those Honda three-wheelers were infamous for flipping. Haha I'm sorry to hear that. I appreciate your compliments. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you for the explanation, I wish more people knew the difference. I am T5 complete ASIA A since 2019. I can’t move or feel anything at all below the middle of my chest.
I also wish more people knew the difference. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Getting the back is the most fun
Cutting our hair is so much fun…. Not! lol.
Well, I guess it's like brushing teeth. It might not be fun, but it's something that needs to be done. Haha I'd rather save money and do it myself, especially since it takes me less than 10 minutes. It would be more difficult though if you don't cut it short like I do. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@masonx54 I got you man. Quads unite 🤘🏻
My last cut was around 30 + 10 for a tip
$40 for a haircut?! That's crazy in my opinion. Haha How often do you get a haircut? Thank you for watching and commenting!
If I remember correctly, you are 9 years post injury. For the 10th anniversary of your accident I have a video idea. Reflect back on how far you have come and if you had to do rehab all over again what would you do differently?
Yes, you are correct. That is a great video idea! I appreciate your suggestion, and I will be sure to write it down. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great job on your video! Keep up the great work and always approve of anyone helping out others making life easier. I always found it easier to wear lightweight running shoes. Easy on easy off.
That makes sense, and I appreciate you sharing that. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Awesome advice and tips. Thank you, Mason
I appreciate that! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I wear Nike’s about a size or 2 bigger than my actual size since my feet are very sensitive
I appreciate you sharing that useful tip. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@masonx54 what size do you wear actual size or do you get them larger to make it easier to put on and take off?
I wear size 13 and did so even before becoming paralyzed.
I don’t wear shoes or slippers or socks anymore my feet hurt and I have issues leaning over. I have padded footrest and a zip up leg cover for when it’s cold or raining outside.
Dang, have you damaged your feet by not wearing shoes? My shoes have protected my feet many times. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@masonx54 my feet have blood flow issues and raynauds and edema both feet and legs and some nerve problems bad veins in both legs. It’s been more than 4 years since I’ve put anything on my feet and had swelling problems most of my life.
I wear Nike flyease shoes because I have issues with the heel of a regular shoe, so I can easily zip open the back of the shoe and the heel isn't an issue. I've also figured out that in my opinion, buying shoes directly from Nike instead of an Amazon related company like Zappos make them last longer 🙂
I can see how the zipper on the back of the shoe helps. Yeah, some stuff on Amazon isn't quality. Haha Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@masonx54 yeah, I bought my first two pairs of Nike flyease shoes from Zappos and I think the zipper ripped off one pair and the bottom of the heel on the other pair of shoes started to look like like it was coming off the shoe as well 🤦♂️
Those shoes that Michael J Fox wore in Back To The Future 2 would be perfect for quads
Yes, they would. I think NIKE came out with self-lacing shoes, but I don't know the name of them. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@masonx54 they're called Nike adapt bb and I'm not sure if they're available anymore
@@uberdriver8743 I just googled it and they're called Nike Air Mags
I haven't checked, but have you ever done something on adaptive clothing? Thanks, Mason!
I have not, but that's a good video idea. However, I don't have any experience with adaptive clothing. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great job, Mason! I've never cut mine that close. I use a flowbee that's attached to a vacuum. You can adjust the length to different settings. I haven't been to a barber in over 40 years. Can't imagine what that amounts to in $. ❤
I had someone comment on my Facebook post regarding this video that they also use a Flowbee. Yeah, 40 years x 12 months (one haircut per month) x $15 per haircut = $7,200. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I've always worn normal shoes but extra wide, I did just get a pair of Billy's and they are very easy to put on and take off.
I have never tried Billy shoes, but I've heard about them, which is why I showed them in this video. I have a thick and wide foot, but these shoes from Freedom Industries seem to work fine. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I wear indoor/outdoor slippers....
I've never owned a pair of slippers. Lol Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@masonx54 I live in them..them and flip flops....
I prefer something with more support even though I can't feel them.
@@masonx54 sure...there are slippers with more arch support...but I get what you're saying. I love those slip ons by Merrill. Unfortunately, my foot's a EEE.
