FY 2022-23 · 2022-09-01
Summary
Our revolutionary, patent pending device, called the Ibex, helps people prevent and recover from falls. It is a rollator walker with an elevating seat that descends to floor level, raises to a height of 24” and stops anywhere in between. It helps people reach lower items, transfer on/off low surfaces, conserve energy by perching at counter height and the seat folds so people can stand or walk inside the frame. In the unfortunate event a fall happens, it can lift the fallen person from the floor independently or with minimal assistance. It provides people the confidence and independence to continue their activities of daily living and those that bring them joy.

Description (French)
Notre dispositif révolutionnaire, en attente de brevet, appelé Ibex, aide les gens à prévenir les chutes et à s'en remettre. Il s'agit d'un déambulateur à roulettes doté d'un siège élévateur qui descend jusqu'au niveau du sol, s'élève jusqu'à une hauteur de 24 pouces et s'arrête n'importe où entre les deux. Il aide les personnes à atteindre des objets plus bas, à se déplacer sur des surfaces basses, à conserver leur énergie en se perchant à la hauteur du comptoir et le siège se plie pour que les personnes puissent se tenir debout ou marcher à l'intérieur du cadre. En cas de chute, il peut soulever la personne tombée du sol de manière indépendante ou avec un minimum d'assistance. Il donne aux gens la confiance et l'indépendance nécessaires pour poursuivre leurs activités de la vie quotidienne et celles qui leur procurent de la joie.
