A gentleman with multiple sclerosis (MS) lives on the first floor of his home because that is were his bedroom and bathroom are. Unfortunately, there is a step down and then back up at the top of the stairs between the two rooms, preventing him from moving between them in his wheelchair. We designed a fold-down infill “bridge”, complete with handrail and gas struts, that allows him to travel safely over the landing to the bathroom.

Communicator frame

Frame for drinking and communicationA lady with multiple sclerosis (MS) was completely paralysed other than being able to use her mouth. She could operate a communication device alongside her drinking tubes, but mounting everything to her chair was cumbersome. We designed a system of swivels and joints to make the communicator and drinking tubes easier to use.
