Competitive Advantages:
Lightweight design, Easy to use independently, Lift without interfering with cycle controls.
An assisted spring seat height optimization lift device and method of use thereof is presented herein. The device is generally comprised of a seat frame attached to a scissor lift assembly that can be moved by engaging a releases mechanism attached to a lifting mechanism. The device is used to lift a handcycle user to a height that is manageable to transfer to a wheelchair independently without impeding the functionality of the handcycle.USF inventors have created a novel lightweight lifting mechanism which can be attached to hand cycles without interfering with cycle controls. This lift decreases the height difference between the hand cycle and other wheelchairs or chairs. It is designed in a way to be easy to use independently. This has great potential for improving the lives and freedom of people with impaired mobility that utilize wheelchairs.
