星期五, 八月 5th, 2011Addendum to
Swedish laptop knee table Bräda (new name BYLLAN)
I have introduced this laptop table as rather cheap, useful wheelchair tray.
The writer and musician Robert Schneider volunteered courageously as Bräda tester.
He is known for his extravagant-hessian writing style (www.laufenverlernt.de.vu).
I mentioned one of his books in an older blogpost.
He took the knee tray Bräda through extra tough quality tests.
Despite of the little bit too soft surface board I was positively surprised.
Here during a transport test with additional tray, at speed of exactly 11 km/h with
3 liters hop blossom ice tea and 6 x 0,5 liter pints
Due to safety reasons, this test is mainly executed with dummies. 
A typo has slipped in, it was at 0,11 km/h.

Technical Aids Tips and Tricks XIV
星期一, 七月 26th, 2010Because of the paralysis of my legs the muscles of my thighs are flagged in such a way, i.e. flat, that they meanwhile form a quite acceptable transport table. The biggest difficulty is just to convince the legs not to drift outside when they are used as deposit for e.g. a bottle of non-alcoholic beer. The dropping rate is considerable. I am not alone with this kind of issue.
Many wheelchair drivers build a rather symbiotic relationship with their knee tray.
I have already seen a self-constructed knee tray coated with green felt, with which at night probably a game of poker is played for the small pension.
So far so good!
At the Swedes with the big yellow and blue shopping bags I have discovered an excellent
knee tray type BRÄDA (new name BYLLAN).
Officially it is a laptop knee table with mobile phone pocket on the side.
The shape nestles ergonomically against my
six-bake belly.
A non-slip reel has to be put on it still!
Safety instruction:
The BRÄDA (new name BYLLAN) is not a medical device.
No liability is assumed for falling parts.
It doesn’t have a medical device number and can’t be prescribed by the doctor. The immense acquisition costs of 14,95 € have to be completely borne by the patient and are not tax-deductible.

星期四, 六月 10th, 2010Wheelchair users and their bathroom equipment is an endless subject!
The mounting height of the bath mirror can lead to the move-out of the partner if no agreement is found.
To avoid these discussions, usually cost-efficient (ho, ho, ho)
movable mirrors
are recommended. How are you supposed to see anything without binoculars in such a thing when it is skillfully mounted under the ceiling, and who moves it if needed?
My tip is a, mounted to hobbit size, a telescopic round
Make-up Mirror
made by the
Swedish meatballers.
Model: FRÄCK 5,99€
The mirror of my wall cupboard is with its height just suitable for eyebrow shaping.
Now I can finally see if my nurse is botching with the shaving.
