Standup Scooter
| Challenge: |
Our client is not able to sit or bend at the
waist without severe pain due to an accident that damaged the
nerve in her groin. The disability also prevents her from walking
very far so that, at one time she was virtually housebound.
 |
| Solution: |
A scooter was modified so that she could stand upon
it and control it from a collapsible mast for steering, stop,
start and reverse. The collapsible mast, a removable battery and
removable carrying basket permit her to easily load the scooter
into the trunk of a car.
Subsequently, the wheels on the scooter were changed for larger
wheels as the original small wheels were not able to gain traction
in snow and ice conditions.
The scooter has made a very large difference to her life as she is
now much more mobile than previously. |
