I agree, Lynne! If it weren't for that wall, you'd think the chair was outside! Motts, what is that BLUE?!?! : p

"Life safety code" means that it's a fire door and has to remain closed when not in use. The wheelchair is used for transporting someone to the bathroom. Notice that the back is not sturdy and so is used for transport only. It is nice that the commode seat has padding. After sitting on one's behind all day in a wheelchair, a hard porcelain commode surface is not the pleasantest thing to sit on.

Yeppers, that's correct. You are learning your adaptive equipment, Mssr. Motts!

Frustrating - this is very pricey equipment that could still be used by a lot of people.

Man, this is still in great shape . . . .

The first person who calls this a torture device is going to get punched in the nose by moi.

These pieces of equipment again are much more sophisticated than many of the pieces of older equipment you have in some of your other sites. The various pieces of padding can be used to individualize each chair for the specific person who uses it. Every person has a slightly different need, so each chair can be tailor-made to assist in correct body alignment.

Good info on the prone standers. These devices look strange until you understand why they are used.

The seatbelts are the newer type as well. Also the chair padding is much better and the second metal ring outside the wheel is so the people can propel themslves independently by pulling on it (usually wearing fingerless gloves so as to avoid blisters while not losing finger dexterity).

Oh yeah, these are much more recent pieces of adaptive equipment. The frames are more lightweight and the tires are MUCH better.

Come on, Tommeh, you know how that always ends in the horror flix! ;-)

Great lighting, super colors.

Eerily similiar to the chairs I had in grade school...in fact might be of the same..

Interesting to see the stark colour contrast here!

Wow.
My initial reaction to this shot was that someone was VERY overzealous in roping off a reserved section & used barbed wire!

hehe, i woulda nicked a small sample of each...y'know start a nice collection at home :P
