The unique TherAdapt® Wheelchair Platform Rockers allow the wheelchair user to experience all the benefits of rocking right from their chair. The Wheelchair Rockers help promote relaxation while also providing some exercise. The vestibular motion of the platform may help to stimulate brain chemistry; while the rhythmic motion helps to prevent skin breakdown by shifting body weight and position. Two different platforms: Active and Easy; are available to meet the specific needs and goals of the user.

The Active Wheelchair Platform Rocker was designed for users who are strongly seeking sensory input through rocking, tend to rock vigorously, or use a wheelchair with a long base (such as a reclining wheelchair). The rockers were designed longer for this use. Due to the flatter arc, this unit requires the user to use more force to create the rocking motion. This Rocker is for users with good balance and good upper body strength that seek an additional and alternate exercise routine.

The Easy Wheelchair Platform Rocker has a flatter curve and is for users looking for the calming, gentle sensory effects of rocking. It is ideal for the geriatric population and individuals with sensory or balance deficits, as little effort is required to "make it go."

Note:  The Platform Rockers are designed for use with Manual Wheelchairs only.

The Platform Rockers are oversized; additional shipping charges apply.

Note:  Wheelchair sold separately.

Both rockers are made of Baltic Birch wood and feature easy entry/exit from the platform via the rear ramp. A pair of adjustable front caster stops are used to center the wheelchair on the platform for optimal use of the rockers. Two securing straps are provided to "tie down" the wheelchair to the platform for safety.
