Frequently asked questions
Does this provide extra leverage for easier braking?
Yes, the extension is specifically engineered to provide maximum mechanical advantage. By adding length to your existing brake lever, it requires significantly less physical effort to lock and unlock your wheelchair brakes securely.
Is this suitable for users with limited grip strength?
Absolutely. This device is designed for individuals who struggle with hand mobility or limited strength. The 9-inch extension acts as an assistive lever, making the braking process much more accessible and manageable.
Does the yellow handle offer better visibility?
Yes, the high-visibility yellow handle serves two critical purposes: it provides a comfortable, rounded grip for the user and acts as a clear visual cue to ensure that brakes are properly engaged before transfers or stationary activities.
Is this compatible with most standard wheelchairs?
The extension is designed for compatibility with standard manual wheelchairs. It attaches directly to your existing braking mechanism to improve reach and operation.
How long is the extension arm?
The extension arm measures 9 inches in length. This added distance makes the brake lever much easier to reach from a seated position.
Is the construction durable enough for daily use?
Yes, the extension is built for reliability. It features a sturdy, polished metal rod designed to withstand the rigors of daily use while maintaining a minimalist and functional profile on your wheelchair.
Can this help with independent wheelchair operation?
It is an excellent tool for promoting independence. By simplifying the operation of wheel locks, it allows users who have difficulty reaching or pushing standard levers to manage their own safety and mobility more effectively.
Is this product TAA compliant?
Yes, the Alimed Brake Lever Extension is TAA compliant, meeting the necessary standards for government and institutional use.
Is it easy to use with only one hand?
