The WheelEasier is a comfort-grip for wheelchair users who experience pain
when mobilising their wheelchair in the normal way. A standard wheelchair’s
metal hand-rim can cause a lot of friction to the palms of the hands and lead to
blisters. As it is thin, it also provides a very small amount of leverage, making it
harder to move the wheelchair. Not only that, but your fingers can often get
knocked by the spindles which connect the hand-rim to the wheel.
WheelEasier solves all of those problems. Its silicone rubber surface allows a soft
grip as well as being wide enough to provide good leevrage to the wheel, making
it easier to turn.
Accuracy in the measurement of the diameter Wheel-grip is important as each wheel-grip is likely to be different.
The “WheelEasier” is measured to your own specific measurement as follows:
We take the diameter given, and calculate the circumference.
We then deduct a certain measurement from that length so that the stretch over the wheel-grip will allow the sufficient grip necessary without the need for gluing or taping.
If however in the unlikely circumstance of the fit not being firm, a small cut in the silicone may be necessary and this can be easily taped up with duct tape to ensure a good fit.
Enjoy your new found freedom and tell us about it, as this may be useful to us in promotion of the item.
