Wheelchair Trailer Attachment for Dogs and Shopping

The client contacted Remap for advice on how to clamp either of the two trailers she owns to her wheelchair so she can take her dog to the nearby park. One of the trailers had an arm for connecting to a bicycle, but it would not have worked for the wheelchair. The client was well aware and comfortable with the risks involved with hauling trolleys on the road and accepted all responsibility.

Wheelchair to car transfer aid

The client who suffered from Multiple Sclerosis was having trouble moving between his wheelchair and the car at different levels. A standard banana board could have been unsafe as the driveway was quite steep.

Powered folding ramp

A ramp for one step that could be folded to provide clearance for a door to be used.

Mobility Scooter Ramp

An ingenious solution to providing a sturdy ramp over a UPVC patio door threshold whilst still allowing the door to close and lock normally.

Buggy rain canopy

The client’s new buggy does not have a rain canopy, so adapters were made to allow the canopy from the previous buggy to be fitted to the new one.

Changing bed steps

A special school required some steps to allow children with reduced mobility to get up onto a changing bed with a minimum of assistance with a view to increasing their confidence

Games console for people with disabilities

Remap Essex central were approached by groups caring for people with dementia who wanted a game that could occupy people with dementia whilst also offering a useful way of assessing an individuals health status.

Lateral support for electric scooter

The posture of this electric scooter user has deteriorated and she now requires additional support on her left hand side. The existing light weight left hand arm rest was replaced with a stronger one with additional padding.

Powered platforms for children

MK Remap were approached by Redway School in Milton Keynes to see if we could make a powered platform to help children with physical and learning difficulties gain confidence in their mobility. Two powered platforms were made, based on donated unwanted wheelchair chassis, which would allow a child in an ‘activity chair’ to drive and control the platform using simple ‘forwards / backwards / left / right ‘ buttons

Garden ramp with adjustable feet

The client needed wheelchair access to his garden where commercial ramps were unsuitable. A shallow wooden ramp was made, with adjustable height legs to allow for the uneven ground.
