TGA Mobility set to showcase its new WHILL F powerchair at the upcoming OT Show
For the first time, TGA Mobility will be at the upcoming OT Show so mobility retailers and other healthcare professionals can understand why its mobility products make a positive difference to their clients.
TGA assessors will be demonstrating manual and powered wheelchairs, mobility scooters and launching the new WHILL F powerchair and TGA adjustable chair range at the event, which takes place at Birmingham’s NEC from 23-24 November 2022.
There will also be the recently launched Scoozy which is a unique combination of a mobility scooter and powered wheelchair. Scoozy will be joined by several of TGA’s more established products including the Strongback wheelchair, TGA Wheelchair Powerpack and WHILL C2 powerchair.
Delegates visiting TGA on Stand D49 will also be able to hear about emotive customer experiences. The way its products provide movement and enablement for different types of people and places will highlight advantages for OT clients. With this evidence and guidance from TGA, the prescription of appropriate products will then be clearer – resulting in better outcomes.
Ailsa Reston OT and co-owner of RKS Occupational Therapist Services, prescribes TGA products such as the WHILL and Strongback wheelchair. She says: “The clients I have been involved with who use a WHILL like the look of the product in that it is stylish and does not look like a powered wheelchair.
“They feel confident and more accepted as the appearance of the wheelchair is not clinical. This leads to their WHILL being used in everyday situations and improving well-being and quality of life.”
Ailsa adds in relation to the Strongback and its curved backrest: “It is known that many people suffer from backache in their traditional wheelchair due to poor ergonomics. Providing a backrest that is geometrically more in-keeping with the natural curvature of the spine means extended periods of sitting will not result in pain or discomfort.”
TGA Mobility, which launched its WHILL F powerchair and Zest S mobility scooter at Naidex earlier in the year, has been a provider of mobility scooters and wheelchairs for over 30 years. It is proud to enable more people through its partnership with leading organisations such as Parkinson’s UK, Northern Rail and Lake District National Park.
