CUSTOM ADAPTATION PURPOSE: To protect walls and furniture from being damaged by a wheelchair when the user has his/her legs straight out. With the user's legs straight out, the space taken up was large and made it difficult to avoid bumping into walls and furniture. To protect both the user's feet and surroundings, a frame that sits upright at the end of the chair was constructed of PVC tubing. The frame was covered in cellular foam and a strip of outdoor furniture fabric was laced around the frame to creare a soft footrest and to prevent the feet from extending beyond the frame. The frame mounts to the wheelchair using the existing upright sockets at the end of the chair for ease in removal as needed. A strip of rubber placed at the end of the chair reduced damage to the chair and further protected surroundings. TITLE: Bumper Bar for Wheelchair. JOURNAL: TAD Journal.
