Standing Wheelchair

Standing wheelchair

This is a really interesting concept and could really improve many disabled peoples life’s, instead of having a wheelchair where you have to sit down this wheelchair lets the occupant stand (so it probably needs a different name than wheelchair, though wheelstand just doesn’t sound right).

It’s only a concept at the moment but could be implemented using similar technology to the Segway, I’ll be interested to see if it makes it off the drawing board.

Design and concept found on The Cool Hunter.

Cool idea, but here is a standing device that helps people with disabilities stand, called the EasyStand, and its available now.
