Spinal Injury

Regaining Control at Home, One System at a Time

Understanding Spinal Injury and How Assistive Technology Helps

A spinal cord injury can affect movement, hand function, sensation and the ability to carry out everyday tasks around the home. Depending on the level of injury, clients may experience reduced dexterity, limited arm movement, impaired balance or complete paralysis, making simple activities like switching on a light, adjusting heating, opening doors or controlling entertainment difficult without help.

Assistive technology provides practical, reliable ways for clients with spinal injuries to regain independence and manage their home environment confidently.

With the right systems in place, individuals can:

  • Control lighting, heating, blinds and entertainment without needing hand function

  • Operate doors, gates and intercoms through voice, switches, eye gaze or touch panels

  • Reduce reliance on carers for routine tasks and regain privacy

  • Increase safety with monitoring, alerts and automated routines

  • Create a home setup that adapts to their level of mobility and personal goals

  • Improve day-to-day comfort through personalised controls and accessible interfaces

Assistive technology doesn’t change the injury — but it transforms the way clients can live with it. By making the environment easier to manage, it restores autonomy, choice and quality of life.
