I want to assemble a device that when attached to a wheelchair or ordinary chair will let a paralyzed person stand by themselves. Can also be used by the weak as well. Is this worth doing?
Don’t mean to seem like a needy member but can anyone point to a reference with regards to the wheelchair accessory industry. I’m worried about spending time and money building my wheelchair/chair accessory only to economically fail. It seems such a crowded market. My design attaches to old and new wheelchairs/chairs and is not a wheelchair. I trust this community that is why I asked. Don’t want to seem needy. Apologies if I come across as one. I’ve done my research and the conventional wheelchair still dominates the industry.
There are similar things already. But I'd say yes, it's worth doing.
I don't know enough about the pros and cons to these but they look pretty great!
