It’s often tough luck for a wheelchair user who is looking for that right fashion and look.
More and more wheelchair users want to be fashionable, sexy, sporty, alluring, formal and casual, all without having to learn to stand. Imagine the nerve!
Check out some of the fashions and find out who is producing them.
Hot, stylish, and extreme. Well, maybe not, but in its day this manual reclining wheelchair was state-of-the-art wheelchair technology.
Let’s retro back to 1944 for a peek at this sturdy looking chair.
Looking fashionable is cool but for many wheelchair users finding the right fit can be a real challenge.
Body types vary greatly and clothes sure as heck are not one size fits all, especially when body shape and size are influenced by a disability.
Wheelchair spokeguards are indeed very cool but for more than just their looks.
Wheelchair spokeguards can make a statement. Not just any statement, but the one you want to send. It can be political or whimsical or it can have a load of attitude. Whatever direction you take them in they look great, especially when spinning in a kaleidoscopic swoosh of eye-catching colors.
Tobii has introduced the Tobii S32, a new augmentative and alternative communication device that plays pre-recorded messages that can be activated by scan or touch.
The Tobii S32 Touch is targeted specifically towards individuals who have the use of their hands. The Tobii S32 Scan is a switch/scan model, made for individuals who have difficulty using their hands and require the use of switches to make their choice in the grids or scenes.
Pool is a great game and very popular with both wheelchair users and TABs.
You don’t have to be ironman to play and you don’t need very much in the way of gear. It’s played indoors so weather is never a problem. You can play in a group or alone and it’s affordable. With some luck you know someone who owns a table that you can mooch a couple of games off of. Maybe even a brew or two out of their fridge to keep you loose.
It’s tough staying fit from inside a wheelchair. I’ve heard that once or twice from wheelchair users.
However, there are number of exercise devices out there that are affordable, usable outside of a therapy clinic, and that really work.
