Paraplegics ski using specialized adaptive equipment, such as sit-skis or mono-skis, which allow them to sit while skiing. These devices are equipped with a seat and are often controlled with hand-held outriggers or poles that provide stability and steering. Ski instructors trained in adaptive techniques often assist paraplegics to ensure safety and maximize enjoyment. Additionally, many ski resorts offer programs and equipment rentals specifically designed for individuals with disabilities.
Paraplegics.

Yes.
Yes, paraplegics can still have knee jerk reflexes. The knee jerk reflex is controlled by the lower part of the spinal cord, which may still function even if there is paralysis or impairment in the upper part of the cord. However, the presence or absence of knee jerk reflexes does not determine the extent of paralysis in paraplegics.
Paralympic Games 29 August
A pool table. And a trio of paraplegics
The Paralympic games are competitions between athletes who are physically disabled, including amputees, paraplegics, and occasionally quadriplegics.
No, they aren't. A paraplegic is someone who is paralyzed, and a sociopath is someone who has no empathy for others. The two are completely different.
Monkey cells are used for diabetes research
Some paraplegics are capable of an erection and intercourse. Much depends on the exact location and type of spinal damage. Paraplegics (and quadriplegics) may also get erections spontaneously, without knowing it. Again, it depends on the nerves that have remained intact.
