WELCOME TO OPEN SOURCE WHEELCHAIRS
There's a heavy focus in the DME industry on selling primarily expensive/medicalized/utilitarian/low performance wheelchairs and other mobility solutions . Therefore, we promote the DIY creation of inexpensive wheelchairs and adaptive mobility devices using locally available materials.
​
Why We Promote Adaptive Mobility
Imagine a world of equal opportunity movement, where people with disabilities don’t sit on the sidelines, left out of the fun. Where disability is not just about the need for rehabilitation, but about high-level performance, participation, and the joy of movement.
​
Enhance Participation in Life.
Enable High Performance.
Provide Pleasure in Movement.
Create Pride of Ownership.
Be Portable.
Have Practicality of Use.
At an Affordable Price.
