This client has arthritis and cannot raise her arms above chest height. She wanted to hang her washing on an outside line.

The client is a young mother who has epilepsy and was concerned about losing control of her pushchair in the event of a seizure.
A bicycle brake lever was fitted on the handlebar of the pushchair which operated a plunger which engaged with a toothed wheel on the axle. Removal of her hand from the lever causes the plunger to engage and lock the wheels, creating a dead man’s brake.
The client now feels much safer when pushing her baby, particularly on inclines.
