Narrow manoeuvrable wheelchair
This lady with multiple sclerosis cannot manoeuvre a standard wheelchair around the various corners in her house.
A 25mm square tube steel welded frame wheelchair was fabricated with rear casters and front wheels positioned to suit the client. A tilting footrest was necessary. A crude rod brake system immobilised the chair when required. The wheels, casters, seat and seat back were salvaged from scrap items.
The client can manoeuvre this chair around the house very easily.
