Klingensmith health care sponsored a wheelchair seating clinic at PNC Park this past Saturday. I had the opportunity to attend and met some fantastic vendors along with practitioners (physical therapist, occupational therapist).
It's nice to see what technology is available, especially from Permobil. Which I believe to be one of the best manufacturers in power wheelchairs on the market today.
I was also impressed with Pride Mobility and their ability to operate environmental controls through the wheelchair joystick. It was great to discover how pride incorporated the integration of the environment with a wheelchair.
Speaking about using the wheelchair joystick to control the environment, are you familiar with the R-Net Mouse Module it's a great piece of assistive technology that allows the user to use his or her joystick as a mouse which connects via Bluetooth to a laptop or Pc.
I currently have it installed on my Permobil C-500 and will be talking about it in future blogs. So far it has certainly been working out well.... I'm such a geek I know, no need to point that factor out in the comments. Lol
