Standing wheelchair
A standing wheelchair may seem like a contradiction in terms but this new vehicle from the inventor of the Segway, Dean Kamen, may bring hope and mobility to paraplegics. It resembles the two wheel design of the Segway with a back support, allowing wheelchair users to stand upright in the wheelchair. The view from standing up is a refreshing change from the usual seated position. You can actually talk to friends and families face to face.
Kamen is also the inventor of the iBot, another ground breaking wheelchair that elevates as well as allows the seated to climb upstairs. Kudos to Kamen for all his inventions that creatively help those who are in medical need.
