The Evolution of Manual Wheelchairs A Focus on Innovation and Accessibility

Safety is paramount for the elderly, and a walker with wheels is designed with this in mind. Many models come equipped with brakes, which enable users to secure the walker in place when they need to rest or perform tasks like reaching for an item.

Gracias a esta tecnología, las personas pueden moverse con mayor facilidad y sin depender de la asistencia de otras personas. Controlar la silla es un proceso sencillo; por lo general, se hace a través de un joystick o incluso aplicaciones móviles que permiten a los usuarios configurar diferentes modos de conducción según sus necesidades o preferencias.
