Wheelchair Handrim Gripping Covers
2 pictures of the right large wheel of a wheelchair the one on the left with a red handrim gripping cover and on the right with a blue handrim gripping cover

Wheelchair Handrim Gripping Covers are designed to help minimize stress on hands, wrists, and forearms (thus user fatigue) while maximizing push-power and comfort. They accomplish that by increasing the rim's surface circumference, providing cushioning, and preventing hand-slippage via their surface design. The cover material is designed to stretch easily to fit over the rim and is washable.

Estimated Cost Cost range: $75-$150 per pair

Limitations Limitations Addressed by Product: Lower extremity, Strength/endurance, Back
