Paramobile Devices

A paramobile device is a specially constructed motorized wheelchair that allows someone with a spinal cord injury to stand up to do activities and sports.

It is a multi-terrain vehicle that can be used on or off-road. Originally developed for golfing it can be used for other activities that require standing, such as golf.

The paramobile device has straps that secure the person’s legs and torso to keep them stabile enough to stand up.
