David Proud
Actor
“As an actor, writer and presenter each day is different for me. I’m on the road almost all the time in planes, trains and cars. I need a wheelchair that copes with hours of use but still looks as good as it does the day it came out of the factory. My MaxLite has taken some serious punishment from me filming in all kinds of conditions, even in the Alps. It meets every challenge I give it. A truly superb wheelchair for people who want to experience everything life has to offer.”

Why choose made to measure?

  • INDIVIDUAL MEASUREMENTS
    Over 30 individual measurements are taken of the user for the wheelchair, so that it fits their individual requirements.
  • ERGONOMIC OPTIONS
    A wide range of ergonomic options are available to provide optimum comfort, balance and posture.
  • LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPACT
    The lightest possible solution is achieved using individual measurements.

The effects

  • OPTIMUM POSTURE
    Sitting in the correct position can significantly reduce the risks of developing pressure related issues in the short and long term. Good health helps promote a more active lifestyle which in turn can positively impact a user’s well-being.
  • OPTIMUM COMFORT
    Feeling comfortable increases confidence which helps the user to achieve an active lifestyle. The likelihood of developing prolonged discomfort, pain and persistent injuries are significantly reduced.
  • MAXIMISED PERFORMANCE
    The user and wheelchair work in complete unison. This reduces the amount of energy needed to propel and in turn increases the wheelchair’s efficiency to maximize the user’s abilities.
