Team 44: GlideGuide1
Manual wheelchairs, the only affordable option for the majority of wheelchair users, are difficult to stop, and controlling speed can result in injuries. All Access Wheelchair Solutions is developing an economical, multifunctional braking system which enables users to safely stop by controlling their speed without injury, and it also features a secure parking brake. The telescopic brake lever allows individuals with less strength or dexterity to easily operate the braking and parking brake mechanism. This innovative improvement to manual wheelchairs will be an enormous leap towards safety and comfort while using a manual wheelchair.
