Manual Wheelchair Advice (EDS but not exclusively) 

Today was the first day in ages I went out without the silicone rim-covers on my wheelchair and *wow*, I really forgot what a difference they make.

I really highly recommend them. I have real problems with gripping hard enough, doubly so 'for prolonged periods' and 'without hyperflexing my fingers' for me; But just in general, it makes both pushing & braking with yr hands so much easier than a bare metal bar.
