Single handed walking frame
Clients who have had a stroke and only have full use of one arm have difficulty using a walking frame. When picked up by the side handles or by the front crossbar the frame can hit ankles or furniture.
Stroke
Exercise bike leg support
Roy, who had suffered a stroke, was recommended to use an exercise bike to regain use of his legs but had a problem keeping one knee from staying in line with his hip and foot. A rehab physiotherapist recommended Remap to provide a means of doing this, so an extension from the pedal was made to support his leg.
4-wheeled Walker adaptation
An elderly and frail client needed her 4-wheel walker to be adapted to give her better support to walk within her home. Whilst initially it was thought the support was only needed on one side, it became clear there was a great deal of benefit to adapt both sides and produce a balanced walker with gutter rests.

Wheelchair leg and arm supports
After a stroke, the client’s left side weakness means he needs his wheelchair to be adapted to provide additional support to his left arm and something to restrain his left leg to maintain proper posture. A gutter forearm support was added to the armrest and a plywood panel added to restrain the leg.
