adjustable wheelchair


Katie Carlson, an industrial Design graduate from Ohio State University, designed an adjustable wheelchair for physically challenged children falling between the age group of 3-10 years. The frame of the wheelchair ranges from 10 inches to 18 inches. The width wise adjustment of the frame is altered by three removable bars of differing length keeping with the strength of the frame. It also provides with the footrest that shrivels to fit in the legs of multiple users. Adding to its apt features is the use of 24″ bike wheels that are suitable for all kinds of terrains and are easily available across the globe. For further comfort and convenience a hubcap is fitted for protecting fingers. Also a canvas seat expands with the frame for better adjustment. It is specially created for the users who are deprived of proper health care and cannot afford mobility devices. This adjustable wheelchair is sure to aid number of needy children.
