Arm rest for dining chair
The client needed arm support when seated. A standard dining chair was converted with a table rest.
School Lunch Tray
Adaption to carry a standard issue Schools lunch tray with one hand.
Homecraft Pick-Up Reacher Modification
This is a modification to the Homecraft Rolyan Pick-Up Reacher.
The problem with the standard grabber is that it only pinches the sides of an object if you pick it up from lying down. The modification with wider jaws and a design that curves round means that it can get underneath the object to ‘scoop’ it… making it easier to pick up (and also maintain hold with a weaker grip).
Baby Seat for Wheelchair
A baby seat is required to be added to an electric wheelchair
Freedom Chair A08 arm rest mount
A bespoke mount to attach an Otto Bock channel forearm pad to a Freedom Chair A08.
Large buttons for recliner chair
Our client cannot see and cannot operate the soft touch buttons on the hand controller supplied with a top end recliner chair. I made a holder for the controller that fixes it to the side of the chair and has four large and differently shaped buttons so they can be identified by touch.
Fishing Trolley Stool
Malcom would love to go fishing again and he has a fishing cart to carry all his gear but he needs to sit down often when he pushes it to the lake. I made him a folding seat that is easy to fold down so he can rest at regular intervals.
Accessibility Handle for BT 4600 DECT Phone
This is a handle which is designed to clip onto a BT 4600 DECT Phone to aid grip. It is for those with weaker hands and/or limited mobility, and means that if grip is lost, the phone remains in the hand rather than dropping.
Mobility chair desk top
Add multi-purpose ‘desk top’ to child’s mobility chair so she could start school with her own table top.
Brailling a Washing Machine Panel
Keeping it simple – DIY Front Panel Brailling using jewelry findings
TRIKE
The trike is a homemade piece of mobility equipment made from two bikes with a platform inbetween and a loading ramp. This allows someone that is disabled to experience the joys of cycling whilst still being in the wheelchair for maximum comfort with their favourite person doing the pedalling. If you happen to stop along the way at say a garden centre, then you still have the wheelchair with you for regular activities !
Crutches bracket for electric scooter
The client requires a bracket to hold his crutches, but mounted in front of the seat. The area behind the seat is taken up by a cargo basket.
Drawbridge ramp
The client required a ramp for his scooter to pass though his front door directly onto the public pavement. The ramp could not be left in place and the client did not have any assistance available to fit, and later remove, the ramp. A hinged “drawbridge” ramp was made with a cord to raise and lower it.
Oxygen attachment for walker
The client needed to have her oxygen cylinder with her when she went shopping with her 4-wheeled walker.
Pen and pencil holding
A sculpted foam pen and pencil holder for people with difficulty gripping.
