No more falls caused by the wheelchair rolling back when getting up and sitting down. Here's a very clever, easy-to-install device that AUTOMATICALLY locks the wheels whenever the person stands or sits.
A frequent cause of wheelchair accidents is forgetting to lock the chair's brakes when the user attempts to sit down or stand. As the patient gets up, a pair of brake arms instantly grab the tires to prevent the chair from rolling backwards. Once seated, the device is in "stand-by" mode and the wheelchair functions normally.
The device works by spring tension. A padded lever beneath the seat is depressed
when the occupant is seated. This lever is connected to a pair of stainless
steel brake arms that are held just off the surface of the rear tires. As the
occupant's weight is lifted from the seat, the spring force causes the lever
to rotate and lock the wheels. The greater the backward force on the chair,
the greater the braking power.
(To move an empty wheelchair, you can always roll it forward freely. The
brakes only engage when trying to push it backwards.)

What we like best about this product: Who remembers to lock the wheelchair
wheels every time the patient stands or sits? It's only natural to forget once
and a while, and that one time could be one responsible for a fall. But here's
a product that takes the worry out of the wheelchair – simply, automatically
and every time.
