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.

Do paraplegics have knee jerk reflexes?

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.
