Wheelchair Restraints


A demonstration of a wheelchair restraint.

* Price Range : $50 - $2,000

Electric Restraint System - consists of a device on the bottom of the chair and another device on the floor of the van. When the two devices are properly aligned, a lock will sound and the wheelchair will not move.

Manual Restraints or Tie-Downs System - requires an attendant because it cannot be operated from the wheelchair. Four straps are snugly placed around the four wheelchair wheels to help prevent rolling during vehicle movement.

Upper Torso Restraint - used in addition to the wheelchair restraints for those with weak muscles in the upper torso area and poor balance.
