However, the Touch Screen models can be operated with a single finger, a brush or stylus, etc. which is far easier in many ways than using a mouse.

]]> Comment on Turn Your Wheelchair into a Hand Cycle in 30 Seconds by Vickie Ellers http://www.disabledandproductive.com/videos/equipment/dragonfly-detachable-hand-cycle/comment-page-1/#comment-25162 Vickie Ellers Sat, 31 Dec 2011 19:06:20 +0000 http://www.disabledandproductive.com/?p=1454#comment-25162 Hello, I was hoping that I could find a modified version of a manual wheelchair that I could continue to use when I am no longer in need of one. I have discovered the benefits of using a wheelchair for a great upper body workout, as well a great way to get around my pedestrian-friendly city. I have been able to put heavy loads on the back when I am shopping. I used to walk everywhere, but after using the wheelchair the past couple of months I am really sold on the idea of a street chair for people with painful feet or other mobility problems, or just an easier way of getting around. Because there is such a stigma about people using wheelchairs without a disability I think it should be called a street chair and look somewhat different. I have been trying to figure this out for myself and for another family member who would benefit from this type of modification. Thank you for allowing me to speak my mind. I am eager to find a solution to my problem. If you do know of someone who already makes chairs similar to what I've described, please let me know. Thanks again. V. Ellers Hello,
