Durable Wheelchair Footrests

Project Overview

Our client at Avenues to Community works with Mark, a 32 year old man with cerebral palsy and an intellectual disability. Mark uses a wheelchair for transportation while in their community. Due to his spasticity he often kicks his legs, so for safety reasons his feet must be strapped in during transport. As a result, he often breaks the foot rests on his wheelchair. A more durable foot rest design is needed for his use.
