  Wheel Chair LocksHelp Prevent Wheelchair Falls With Automatic Brakes/Locks
Patented automatic wheelchair brakes/locks help prevent falls in wheelchair users who cannot or do not consistently lock the manual brakes on their wheelchairs. Alzheimer or dementia patients, post-stroke victims or persons on mind altering- medications are particularly susceptible to injuries due to wheelchair related falls. For these patients-the automatic wheelchair wheel locks/brakes are a must.

A product long overdue:
Physician Grady Dugas, the inventor of the automatic wheelchair locks/brakes, saw a crying need for the automatic locks/brakes while treating patients in nursing homes. "My phone was ringing often. I would go to the nursing home and there would be the patient, lying on the floor, one leg turned in and shorter than the other and the wheelchair behind him. He had broken a hip! Some patients fall repeatedly, often injuring themselves seriously getting into or out of their wheelchairs. They do not remember to engage the wheelchairs' manual locks/brakes consistently. The wheelchairs roll away from them. Often these injuries change the quality of the rest of the patients' lives," said Dr. Dugas. To help these people, the wheelchair brakes need to be automatic.
