Eadie Wheelchair That Features Stand Up Function

Filed under: Rehab


Jake Eadie, an industrial design student at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, proposes the following concept for a wheel chair design. By unfolding, in a transformer-like style, from a sitting position to a standing one, the system would give people a more natural perspective to interact with others.

Very cool, but I think DEKA Research already beat him to it.

His design may have some other benefits, but I think the concept has been done already. Very cool to see further development in this arena though.
