Adjustable Beds
Homecare adjustable backrest and leg rest beds
The Electric Motorized Bed comes with a wired hand wand, allowing you to
easily position yourself as you can read, study, watch television and do so
many things in a position you feel the most comfortable.
Different Beds and Accessories
The four-winged folding
sliding door, the barred sides
and the flexible height and
inclination adjustment
possibilities, this bed provides
very good therapeutic
support.
Accessories are attached to
the beds simply by dropping
them into or hanging them
from integrated sockets,
holders or rails
Van Accessories
An optional power remote
control, internal swing door
operator and sliding door
operator are available for
even greater convenience
All Q'Straint systems include
4 tie-downs. When securing a
wheelchair passenger, be sure
to follow the safety
procedures outlined in the
user's manual for the
Q'Straint system you
purchased.

Driving and Hand Controls
Sure Grip supplies many of the
spinner knob models currently
available at MobilityWorks. In
addition to the spinner knob
shown here, other options
include an amputee ring, tri-
pin hand control grip and v-
grip.
With the use of hand
controls and electronic
driving aids, many people
can assume the
responsibility of driving for
themselves again.
Stair Lift Chairs
Indoor Stair Lifts
The most common type of stair
lifts used in private dwellings
with straight stairs and have a
straight rail. Straight stair lifts
have a shorter installation time
because it requires fewer
customizations.
Outdoor Stair Lifts
They come with seats,
perches, footplates or
platforms. They are similar to
indoor stair lifts but with
improved weatherproofing.
More Stair Lifts
Most of the stair lifts are
supplied with DC power to
reduce the risk of shock as
there are no trailing wires
embedded
This wheelchair lift can be
designed for straight, turning
or radiating stairways with or
without intermediate landings
Computer Hardware for the
Disabled
All factory setup as
accessible communication
devices. Switch Access:
The type of interface
needed to connect a
switch to a computer is
dependant on the type of
disability.

Computer Access for Disabled
Students or Non-Students
Does the internet open
up opportunities for
disabled people?
Disabled Internet users who
needed assistive devices to
use a computer and the
Internet found fewer
websites that were easy to
use and navigate than did a
person with non-assistive
devices.
