Gurdeep Singh:
Taking a step forward and moving around may not seem to be even the slightest of effort and can easily go unnoticed but even standing up on their feet can be a great challenge for the one who is physically challenged. Just imagine what activities you perform that requires walking and moving around? Almost every! Giving the power of motion to the physically challenged can solve many challenges of movement and help them perform their day-to-day work. Many researchers have come up with useful designs of uniquely innovated scooters that assist the physically challenged to commute and perform their activities without trouble.
Following are the five such innovative scooter designs that work perfectly well for the physically challenged.
1. Amigo mobility scooter
In the year 1881, the first wheelchair rolled out in Europe that became a boon for those who were physically challenged. Now they were able to move around on their own by using their hands to rotate the wheels. With the advancement in technology, this wheel chair was electrified to offer more power and easy mobility options to the physically challenged, geriatric and critically ill patients. One such device is the Amigo mobility scooter that comprises a backrest, a seat and the foot support area to offer a comfortable sitting on the move. Due to its joystick driven vehicle, the person can exert his/her energies more on the other useful activities than driving the wheelchair and maintaining a comfortable sitting position. The armrest helps the person relax when needed. The important feature of the scooter is it is anatomically contoured seating area and the backrest that offers enough space to accommodate the person of any size with comfort. This is mainly designed to move indoors with comfort although new designs are also emerging that offer outdoor mobility, too.
2. Universal electric scooter
One of the best in its class the universal electric scooter, designed by Ji-Hoon Hong is the scooter designed for the elderly and the physically challenged. This electric powered scooter comes with fully adjustable seat which can be rotated horizontally to help the person perform any task being seated on the sideways, too. The wheels are so designed to prevent skidding and are useful for indoor as well as outdoor mobility. The joystick operated levers give better control on the scooter with all the energies conserved for other useful works than driving the scooter. There are the front and rear indicators indicating the turn of the scooter that offers universal safety to the driver. The sleek design adds attraction to the design.
3. Miracle mobility vehicle
Designed by an Israeli designer Ayelet Kit for Tzora Company this is the perfect mobility vehicle that is easily foldable and can be carried in the car trunk. This is a rechargeable battery powered four wheeled scooter that has a comfortable adjustable seat. The seat can be rotated to offer easy and comfortable getting on and off the seat for the user. Due to its comfortable seating arrangement and easy to grab handle this scooter makes it the better choice for the elderly and the physically disabled people.
4. Mobility enhancer
With the advent of technology, we have made almost all of our tasks easy and more efficient. Technology also helped the physically challenged to cross their limitations and perform at their best. This mobility enhancer is the brainchild of a mom of two who faced the trouble of holding her kids, her umbrella and variety of other items, grocery, etc. This motivated her to design a scooter with a bag (patented to her) on its front side to hold the umbrella which she called the ‘Brella Bag’. This simple innovation solved the problem of mobility with the ease of carrying things such as keys, wallet, cell phone, etc. This also helps the elderly or the physically challenged to steer around freely with their belongings in the brella bag. The steady brella bag is strong enough to hold the umbrella in the windy conditions and large enough to carry water bottles, too. A comfortable seating chair with sidewise movement helps the person move easily on and from the seats to continue his/her daily chores.
5. Electrical wheelchairs and power mobility scooters
This is one such scooter that offers power with convenience. For those who have difficulty moving indoors and perform their daily activities, the electrical wheelchair is the option that offers flexible mobility to the elderly and the physically challenged. This is a six-wheel power chair that can maneuver easily in the small places of the home and can move with efficiency. This is a joystick driven electric wheelchair that is easy to handle and requires very less trouble driving it.
