Deeper tray for wheelchair
Many of us are dependent on our laptops, smartphones and other 21st century gadgets to run all aspects of our lives, and Graham is no exception. However, the tray that was supplied for his wheelchair was too shallow to sit a laptop on securely, making it much less portable than it should have been.
The solution
Mark Game, a volunteer with Remap Barnet, designed and made a custom laptop table to fit on Graham’s wheelchair. While he was at it, he also added straps to the back and the footrest to improve access to the wheels, making it more manoeuvrable and allowing Graham to improve his core strength.
The benefit
Graham is very pleased with his newly modded wheelchair and no longer needs to rely on his quick reflexes to save his laptop from an untimely demise.
