     Mobility medical has finally gotten it’s chariot. If you are a baby boomer then you remember the movie ‘Ben Hur’ and the famous scene with Charlton Heston and the chariot races. At the time that was pretty amazing cinematography , and for that time it was considered special effects. But truth be known, the film was actually sped up to give the impression of going much faster. Let’s think about this….like it wouldn’t be fast enough if you were in one of those little chariots, being pulled by a rather spooked horse, all the while just holding on to the reins while standing up in a glorified wheel barrow. Come on. That was exciting.

     Oh, I almost forgot the real reason for this article on mobility medical products. I just read a story about a mobility product for the disabled that resembles a Segway that has a tall barrel mounted to the foot platform. The individual is able to ’stand’ in this barrel and be strapped into it, for support of the back and spine. As strange as this sounds, this mobility product actually resembles one of those chariots in ‘Ben Hur’. This allows amputees and others with paralysis of the lower extremities to be in an upright position and still move about. And wouldn’t you know it, they came up with a catchy name for this mobility medical product, the Chariot. Body movement, leaning and tilting is registered as the control commands. Plus, by being at this elevated height gives the ‘rider’ the ability to see and reach items that a person in a wheel chair couldn’t because of the low seating position. An added bonus is the ability to be at eye level with able-bodied individuals, increasing the self esteem of the disabled individual.

     Go check it out, it’s a very exciting mobility medical product for the disabled. More information can be found by searching for the Exmovere Company.

Till then.

I am and you’re not.
