Tool Time and Wheelchair Skills

Have you ever scripted a custom manual wheelchair but unsure how to make simple adjustments to the chair or what ongoing maintenance is required?  Ever wondered if it was easy to tighten brakes, remove that unwanted hair from castor wheels or how to adjust a manual wheelchair’s centre of gravity? It’s easier than you think, and we can show you how.

This hands-on workshop with GTK and Rika Millen (Permobil) will dive into the adjustments that can be made on different manual wheelchair configurations and give you a chance to test out your own tool skills. We will also make sure you are well fed and supply you with a simple tool kit.
