When going for a walk with a friend, we do
not choose to stand behind the other where eye-contact is impossible, hearing
is strained, and social interaction is difficult. However, this is exactly what
we ask wheelchair users and their caregivers to do on a daily basis. A Dutch invention is challenging that.
Ziggy
is an accessory which you place onto your wheelchair, enabling side-pushing and, more importantly, eye-contact, social interaction
and companionship. It is designed for wheelchair users who
cannot self-propel, and is a CE-marked medical device.
"Wonderful! It’s so much nicer for me this way; I can actually see when
they’re taking me, and it feels so much less like I’m being controlled."
"I could finally hold my husbands hand
again when going for a stroll."
Features:
- Effortless control; just steer and go. This is the smart bit of technology; Ziggy makes pushing and steering from the side as easy as from behind. Without Ziggy, pushing from the side would be straining and heavy.
- Patented folding system; transform in seconds. Need to pass a narrow doorway? No problem! Just fold Ziggy away. It requires no added force, and is done within seconds. Ziggy can be stowed on the adapter when not in use.
- Install on your wheelchair in minutes. Quick and intuitive mounting system allows for mounting on your wheelchair in minutes! Search the compatible wheelchairs: https://ziggy-mobility.nl/product#rolstoelen
"So light and easy to push! And ideal
that it is height-adjustable."
