These RehaDesign ultra-grip wheelchair push rim covers are specially designed to improve grip, traction and the style of your wheelchair. They are made to be flexible, comfortable and yet grippy.

They protect your hands while making it easier to grasp the push rim covers. With a push rim cover, you can enjoy the benefit of improved traction, higher speed and free hands. No more ice-cold fingers in the winter from grabbing those metal push rims. No burnt hands in the summer from touching push rims  baked in the summer sun.

These RehaDesign push rim covers makes griping your wheels easier as well as a more colourful look for your wheelchair. They are placed over your existing push rims and give an enhanced grip and an amazing new look to your wheelchair.

The covers come in 7 colours:

Black

Blue

Pink

Red

Green

Yellow

Purple

Also available in Groovy Black, click here to see those. These feature grooves to improve wheel traction, designed with quadriplegics and tetraplegics in mind.

The colour of your push rims can be changed seasonally to take advantage of weather conditions. Darker colours are recommended during the winter because they absorb heat and lighter colours can help reflect heat in the warmer months.

The push rim covers also come in various sizes. 24 inches is the most commonly used size. To find the size of the push rims you need to look at the tyres on your wheelchair. A 24-inch push rim cover fits a 24-inch tyre.

Other sizes are available. Email us at shop@disabilityhorizons.com to order sizes from 20-inch through to 26-inch.

We can also order in Groovy Push Rim covers that are recommended for people who need extra grip, such as quadriplegics and tetraplegics. They have grooves or treads, similar to the treads on a tire. Email shop@disabilityhorizons.com to orders these.

All RehaDesign Ultra-Grip Push Rim Covers go on in seconds, with no tools or difficult mounting required as can be seen in this demonstration video:

does it tell u anything new or interesting about me if i said this set was my most played with toy as a child

[dykevanny]

I think cassie and gregory were always super affectionate friends. Cassie is just the kinda person who is holding hands with her friends n kissing them on the head youknow. And gregory (kid in the foster system who is very unused to genuine affection) is just like ouuuughghhghh……,,…,,….,..(positivbe) . I think he’s a lot more careful around her post-ruin bc of her injuries + disabilities from being dropped down that elevator and erm. The amputation. Anddd.. being stuck with a festering wound in a filthy broken down mall for a while. You know . He’s scared of making it worse. Kinda blames himself (since it WAS his voice used to lure her down there..) anyways vanessa made Cassie’s roxy themed cane for her <3

“Re-Ment—Petite Clinic: Medicine”

Mako listening intently to her patients. Ai, no doubt, has a lot to say.

This scenario combines "Medicine" (#6, the wheelchair and the pills) with "Injection" (#3, the little cart in the background). The swivel chair and the smaller tools came with "Medical consultation"(Box #2) and the clipboard and elevated table came from boxes #1 ("Waiting Room") and #6 ("Examination")
