Wheelchair leg and arm supports
After a stroke, the client’s left side weakness means he needs his wheelchair to be adapted to provide additional support to his left arm and something to restrain his left leg to maintain proper posture.
The solution
An adjustable gutter forearm support was added to the armrest and a plywood panel added to restrain the leg. Both items can be removed and fitted without tools.
