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.

Marina House Boat Handrail

Remap Charity was approached by a occupational therapist with a request to help a disabled man continue safely living on his house boat. Council solutions were all land based however due to historic events, this man needed the privacy and isolation provided by the house boat.

A bespoke handrail was developed which was set at the custom heights for the man, and also within the allowable boundary on the jetty while allowing maximum strength.

3D Printed Guitar Stand

A lady has a tumour on her shoulder which is painful when playing the guitar, which she does semi professionally, as the strap presses on her shoulder.

The task was to make a shaped holder for the guitars so that they can be played comfortably.

Changing mat restraint

The client is very active when being changed and their carer required a means of providing gentle restraint. A padded “trough” provided the solution.

Changing mat guard rail

The client is a very active child who has learnt how to roll off their changing mat very quickly when their carer is distracted. A folding rail was added to provide restraint, while also allowing changing activities to be performed normally.

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.
