Hey there! Welcome to Accessibility Minute, your weekly
look at Assistive Technology, those clever tools and devices
designed to help people who have difficulties with vision,
mobility, hearing or other special needs!
For some individuals who use manual wheelchairs to get around,
the standard, slippery metal rim can be fatiguing after a
while; this is especially true for those with limited
grip. IntelliWheels is a company which has developed Fit
Grips, an affordable solution to these problems! Fit Grips
are ergonomic handrim grips that improve an
individual's comfort and performance while pushing his or
her chair around!
According to the Fit Grip's description: "The patent pending design increases the
circumference of the hand rim to minimize the strain on your hand,
while the improved grip allows you to push with less effort than
ever before!" To learn more, visit IntelliWheels.net.
