How a motorcycle-inspired wheelchair could help motorbike accident injured

Tragically, a disturbingly high proportion of people who suffer injury in motorbike accidents will develop a level of disability that has serious implications for their mobility and independence.

Sometimes this will be attributable to a brain injury, often having profound consequences for the injured rider's personality as well as his or her capacity for independent living; other times, however, the injury will be limited to physical effects.

Whether physical injury is confined to loss of a limb or is on the scale of a paralysing spinal injury, affected patients may come to rely on the use of a wheelchair.

As such, it is a very important piece of equipment and, if of good quality, can make a meaningful difference to the quality of life enjoyed by an injured person. Typically, 100 percent accident compensation payments will, where necessary, make provision for the best possible wheelchair.

Interestingly, for motorbike accident survivors in need of a wheelchair, it seems that the wheelchairs of the future may have more in common with motorcycles than with the wheelchairs of the past.

Japanese designers have unveiled the Rodem, a four-wheeled electric wheelchair, which has motorbike-like handles and a revolutionary joystick for steering.

With its manoeuvrability and speed, many have remarked that it is not unlike a motorcycle.

Makoto Hashizume, the man behind the design comments, "I believe this is a whole new idea for a wheelchair.

"With this vehicle, users can move around more freely and more actively without much help from other people."
