Joni Eareckson Tada injured her neck at the cervical level 4/5 and has no movement below her collarbone. Through therapy, Joni has learned how to make the most of the muscles in her shoulders so that she is able to move her arms to a certain degree. Braces on her forearms help her achieve additional control so that she can operate her motorized wheelchair with a joystick or feed herself with a special spoon inserted into her brace.
