Neater Uni-Chair was launched at Naidex 2009. It is a manual
wheelchair developed for people with hemiplegia caused by a stroke. Research
and development work was carried out in conjunction with the Univeristy of
Brighton.
We received the following by email form Quotec who administer the
NHS grant that part funded the Uni-Chair's development:
"I am very
pleased to let you know that the Committee was very impressed with your project
and have agreed a score of 10. Specifically, they were very impressed with your
team's commitment to ensuring the optimum device was produced and how popular
it has become with users in care homes, and how you have continued to make
improvements based on their feedback. "
