This is a laptop supporting device that attaches to an existing wheelchair. The device primarily provides accessibility to patients who are in a wheelchair and can only utilize one arm.
Patients that have suffered from strokes or other severe medical conditions have very limited mobility. This hinders many aspects of their life and prevents them from doing any physical labor. However, many of these patients have the capability of working through a mobile device or a laptop, but they do not have the equipment that would permit them to do this.
Currently, there are very few products in the market for a patient that is only able to use one arm. There are many products that allow a patient in a wheelchair to use their laptop, but these mechanisms are too complicated to use for a patient with such low mobility. Furthermore, many devices that are currently in the market are not very flexible and hinder the mobility of the patient, forcing him/her to stay in one place while using the laptop.
The goal of the present development is to provide comfortable use of a laptop to wheelchair users through a simple and easy to use system. This device will increase the level of productivity of the user and will allow the patient to do more things without the need of professional assistance. Furthermore, the device will have much flexibility in its design so that the patient may still use it if he/she changes wheelchairs.
