NeoMotion – An Introduction
NeoMotion is a crusade against the mediocre disability products that are the Indian Landscape. This mediocrity has led to Wheelchair users being invisible in society and restricted to the four walls of their Homes. How often do you see a Wheelchair user at a School, an Office, a Shop or Theatre?
Every year, three lakh Wheelchairs are sold in India, of which two and half lakh are imported. 95% of all Wheelchairs sold in India are one-size-fits-all. They restrict Mobility, damage Health and lower self-confidence. Few Wheelchair users can safely and independently transfer into Tricycles and modified Scooters. How can we expect the majority of Wheelchair users go to Outdoors?
NeoMotion is here to transform this!
