Wheelchair gloves for individuals with cervical spinal cord injuries are assistive devices designed to aid in propelling manual wheelchairs for users who have limited hand function or reduced strength in their hands and fingers.
They enable users who struggle to firmly grip or push the wheelchair's handrims to transfer force more stably; additionally, they protect the hands by reducing the friction and strain on the palms that can occur during repetitive propulsion.
Designed to assist with contact and gripping, these gloves allow for more efficient wheelchair operation even with limited hand function, thereby supporting the user's mobility and independence.
They are particularly useful for users with cervical spinal cord injuries who need to manually propel their wheelchairs during daily activities or at work, and they can be adapted to suit the user's specific hand function and propulsion style.
This assistive device was developed to protect the hands of people with disabilities and seniors who use electric wheelchairs from the elements during outdoor activities and to facilitate safe joystick operation. Neoprene and PVC materials were used to provide cold-resistant and waterproof protection, and the soft materials enhance safety against external impacts. It can be securely attached to the joystick using straps and mounting parts, and is designed for easy attachment and removal while maintaining joystick operability. It protects the user’s hands from external elements such as rain, snow, and cold, while supporting more convenient and stable operation of the electric wheelchair.
