Manual Wheelchair Control Mechanism "Assistant" for Enhanced Mobility and Control

"Assistant" is a manual lever mechanism for controlling wheelchairs. Forward movement, backward movement, ascending and descending, manoeuvring and braking are carried out using special manual attachments mounted on the wheels on both sides. Using the "Assistant" attachment reduces the effort required to move by about 40%, protects the hands from dirt and injuries, reduces the risk of injury to the shoulder joints, elbows and hands when in contact with the wheels, improves the technique of keeping the body in balance while overcoming obstacles, and allows people to move independently over long distances. The attachment is suitable for users with impaired health, as it increases their mobility capabilities. For users who want to develop musculature and keep themselves in good physical shape, the lever acts as an effective exercise machine to restore motor functions and improve muscle tone after injuries..
