Modified Chair 

Challenge:

Our client is not able to sit or bend at the waist without severe pain due to an accident which damaged the nerve in her groin. She was not able to sit for meals or any other activity in her home.

Solution: A chair was modified to permit her to sit while maintaining her waist to remain straight thus allowing her to sit with her family at meal times. This is the second version of the cut away chair. The first version was not collapsible so was limited in its use.

The lightness of this chair and its ability to be easily collapsed and set up at different locations by the client has made it an invaluable device in her daily life.
Chapter: London, Ontario
