Accessible hiking in the mountains with off-road power wheelchair

Dear Sir or Madam,

What was originally designed for the Australian outback also works in the mountains – as the Extreme X8 off-road power wheelchair proves. On the way to the mountain hut, it ensures participation and brings a piece of freedom with it. In which project the mountain climber has already been successfully used, you can find out in our current article.

Have a nice week!

Auxiliary Means

Mobility: PINO – probably the world’s most versatile bike

The PINO semi-recumbent tandem from HASE BIKES has always been as versatile as a whole fleet of vehicles. As a tandem it is particularly popular among cyclists with disabilities and bike-travel enthusiasts, as a family taxi it turns young passengers into actively pedalling co-pilots, and as a cargo bike, even with just one rider, it can transport almost any load you can think of.

Auxiliary Means

Portable arm rehabilitation device for use from hospital to home

A new portable arm rehabilitation robot will help patients to carry out robot-aided therapy at home, allowing them to perform intensive exercises without visiting hospitals or clinics, which can possibly reduce the risk of exposure to infectious diseases such as COVID-19. The robot can also be used in hospitals and outpatient facilities such as nursing homes and clinics.

Research & Health

A wearable sensor to help ALS patients communicate

People with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have a gradual decline in their ability to control their muscles. As a result, they often lose the ability to speak, making it difficult to communicate with others. Researchers have now designed a skin-like device that can measure small facial movements in ALS patients.
