Riding in style and comfort
Customizing your wheelchair
Innovation in wheelchair technology is becoming more prominent and we wanted to share some products and ideas for customizing wheelchairs to help with style and comfort.
Grade Aids
Grade Aids attach to the wheel locks on manual wheelchairs to prevent the wheelchair from rolling backwards. This is can be particularly helpful when climbing ramps or wheeling up slopes. Additionally, it’s great for those who do not like to use a lot of their strength on trying to maintain the wheelchair’s position when climbing a slope. Grade Aids helps improve independence by simply rotating the Grade Aid against the tire to start, then propelling forward.
Custom Cushion Covers
When it comes to picking a cushion cover that fits your personal style, the options are unlimited! Instead of just sticking to the traditional black cushion, you can find numerous designs online. It’s a fun way to show your personality and take advantage of being able to style your wheels.
Wheelchair Mounts for Phones and Tablets
Wheelchair mounts are extremely helpful in today’s world with the constant reliance on technology. With wheelchair mounts for phones and tablets, you won’t have to worry about them falling out of pockets or your lap. Wheelchair mounts offer safety, security and ease of use for the everyday user.
Wheelchair Canopy
Have you ever been frustrated when you have to wait to go somewhere because it starts to rain or it’s too hot out? With a wheelchair canopy, those worries can be pushed to the wayside. A wheelchair canopy attaches to your wheelchair and can protect you from temperamental weather. It’s easy to use and comes in a variety of colors to fully customize your look.
