These sleek aids slide onto a standard manual wheelchair armrest and fasten with a hidden screw through the tubing. The purpose is to assist users who have limited mobility in independently changing their sitting position. Oftentimes when leaning forward or sideways, your arm or hand can slip off the armrest, leaving you in a vulnerable position, potentially unable to return upright. The Armrest Mate protrudes around the end of the armrest creating several different support points to anchor your hand or arm securely.
 
Depending on the level of mobility some individuals may greatly benefit from the Armrest Mates. Leaning forward to shift your weight or reach an item will become far safer and easier. A simple solution to gain a bit more independence.
