Many years of expertise in mobility

With over 25 years of expertise in mobility, Eric Cooper, TGA wheelchair specialist, will be available throughout the show to discuss individual wheelchair needs. Eric will explain TGA’s assessment-led approach to wheelchair provision so that young individuals can be assured of appropriate product recommendations every-time. TGA regularly works closely with OTs so that the clinical needs of clients are met with a view to maximising well-being and independence.

Come and see TGA on stand D15

On stand D15 the WHILL powerchair from TGA will be available for test drives. This state-of-the-art mobility solution appeals to the younger generation as it encompasses unsurpassed styling, manoeuvrability and 4WD drive. WHILL’s all-directional front ‘Omni’ wheels ensure accessibility in the most confined spaces and its powered seat slide offers better postural positioning at school desks and tables. Compatible for transit in accessible vehicles, WHILL is the ultimate statement in ‘cool’ independence.

Alongside WHILL, TGA will be demonstrating the attendant-controlled and self-propel StrongBack wheelchairs. These lightweight, folding designs provide greater comfort through a unique contoured backrest. This backrest mirrors the natural curvature of the spine so more effective lumbar support is delivered. To give powered assistance to a carer or family member responsible for pushing a wheelchair, TGA offers a range of highly reliable powerpacks. These eliminate the strain associated with propelling a wheelchair especially when tackling slopes, uneven ground or kerbs.
