I'm a C6.5 paraplegic, almost quad but thank god i'm not...since June 1989.

Foot rests- keep low as possible so legs push on cushion, taking weight off butt, which in turn takes some weight off feet. My foot plates are maybe 1" if that off ground. Just watch how close your heals get to ground, after doing my next tip:

Foot rests- the strap that keeps your foot from sliding off, adjust longer so heel hangs off, which in turn prevents foot DROP. I ordered longer straps then come with these foot plates which they questioned, and of course, I explained why & work perfect.

Foot rests also come in different degrees, if non adjustable. I'm 6' so I go with the ones that stick out the most which is a pain for turning in tight doorways, but enables me to keep them long as possible so legs rest on cushion, which is a low profile Roho.

I've had skin breakdown possibly once, maybe twice since 1989. Takes forever to heal cause it might be a small area broken down on skin, but it's twice as large inside. Don't let it hapen. I had flap surgery in hospital on my butt cause I was on rotor-rest bed for a month cause my lungs were full of fluid, have a trache, ahh the fun memories. Motorcycle accident,
btw- I smoke 1 pack/day for past 25 yrs. After ICU, I still had trache to get suctioned. Friends snuck me a cigarette - I unscrewed trache cover and blew smoke out
