8 Answers
I don't know whether this is the correct section for my query but nevertheless here goes. My mother is 84 and permanently resident in a Care Home. Her legs have virtually packed up and she has great difficulty in bending them. I am looking for an attachment for her manual wheelchair which will allow her to keep her legs raised and straight when being wheeled about. I have searched various disabled and wheelchair accessory websites but cannot see such items. Any suggestions would be helpful. Many thanks.
