A device designed to securely attach a cellular communication device to a mobility aid is the central focus. This apparatus allows individuals using wheelchairs to maintain hands-free access to their phones. One example is a clamp-based system that affixes to the wheelchair’s frame, holding the phone in an adjustable cradle.
The significance of such a device lies in promoting independence and accessibility. It offers users the ability to make calls, navigate, and access information without the need for constant physical handling of their phone. Historically, adaptations for assistive devices have focused on increasing maneuverability and functionality; this type of holder aligns with that trajectory by enhancing the user’s interaction with modern technology.
