Rehasense UK to exhibit mobility solutions portfolio at The OT Show this November
Rehasense UK, a distributor of mobility solutions, will be exhibiting examples from its growing portfolio of manual wheelchairs, walkers and power add-on systems at The Occupational Therapy Show on the 22-23 November.
The Occupational Therapy Show, which is held at the NEC Birmingham, aims to make it easier for occupational therapists to find updated information, new resources, and support from peers, all in one place, on 22-23 November 2023.
Making its UK debut will be the Eco Assist power add-on. Consisting of a high strength aluminum chassis, a 350-watt motor and 48-volt battery, the Eco Assist offers a very cost-effective solution for wheelchair users looking for an entry level power add-on to increase their independence.
Weighing 15.5kg with the battery and just 9.4kg without, the Eco Assist is easy to transport and manually clamps onto the frame of the wheelchair and disconnects with ease in one simple movement. To ensure protection against the elements, all surfaces on the Eco Assist are powder coated and anodized.
Jordan Day, Rehasense UK’s National Sales Manager, commented: “We are delighted to once again be exhibiting at The OT Show. OT’s play a vital role in recommending our products and are therefore a vital group of decisionmakers so having the opportunity to showcase our product range to OT’s from around the country is fantastic.”
There will be several examples from the Rehasense portfolio of manual wheelchairs on show including the Icon 125 which is a high-performance wheelchair with an extensive range of set up options to ensure it is suitable for most wheelchair users.
Rehasense says comfort, postural support and pressure relief is provided by the reclining back and tilt in space seat combined with pressure distributing seat and back cushions on the Icon 125. The height-adjustable arm rests and multi-adjustable head rest are covered in soft and pliant PU fabrics to minimise pressure.
Rehasense offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of walkers and there will be several models on show including the Server W and Space LX.
The Server W features height and depth adjustable gutter armrests. Weighing just 9.5kg with a maximum user weight of 150kg, the Server W is one of the lightest forearm walkers available and can be used indoors and outside and easily folded for transportation. The folding design also ensures the user walks with a better posture compared to other front folding models.
A winner of the 2022 THIIS Retailers’ Choice award, the Space LX rollator combines intuitive design, smooth lines and high strength alloy materials yet weighs only 5.8kg making it very easy to walk with, lift and turn when using indoors and outside.
To ensure the user maintains a good posture, ergonomic height adjustable handles with indexed settings provide excellent user comfort while increased safety comes from the maintenance free hand brake and parking brake.
The firm will also be showcasing the Track Wheel, a device which has been designed to transform a standard manual wheelchair into an agile tricycle to enable wheelchair users to experience greater freedom. Whether the user enjoys going around town or for more adventurous days out over rougher terrain such as in the forest or on the beach, the Track Wheel is the ideal companion.
By attaching the 12” Track Wheel, the wheelchair’s castors are raised which slightly tilts the chair backwards and by noticeably reducing the rolling resistance, the user can enjoy increased speed, manoeuvrability, and comfort.
Completing the portfolio of products on show will be the recently launched range of threshold ramps which are made from high strength scratch resistant aluminium and consist of three models, the Micro, Mini and Adjustable.
