NCAHT-IITM, an initiative of ICMR conceptualized by R2D2, is a dynamic hub for advancing assistive technology research, development, and training. It empowers users by showcasing possibilities, increasing opportunities, and enhancing stakeholder engagement. Additionally, it provides training for users, caregivers, and professionals.
We have developed a Wheelchair Measurement Tutorial with an immersive experience, guiding professionals through a step-by-step process to measure the users' body dimensions for customizing the wheelchair.
We hope that this resource will aid you in providing service delivery for your clients. We'll be sure to keep you updated on future resources.
Feel free to share this with your professional network and clients.
