Wheel-Chair-Handle Extension

Project Overview

Attachable extension handles for a manual wheelchair to improve ergonomics for helpers and reduce strain during transport.

In this project, we aim to design attachable extension handles for a manual wheelchair. The client has osteoarthritis in their left hand and requires additional assistance when being pushed. The extension will attach securely to the existing wheelchair frame, improving ergonomics for helpers and reducing strain during transport.
