    • People who use wheelchairs during activities of daily living commonly store personal effects in a wheelchair bag that hangs on the backside of the chair. This inherently makes it difficult for wheelchair users to independently access their supplies. A solution to this problem is posed using a set of motorized linkages that can move a bag between the back side of the chair and the user's lab for easier user access.

    • Questions:
    • Would you use such a device and if so, how much would you pay for such a device? Do you have any suggestions? Please e-mail me your answers. Patrick McCrea: [email protected]. Thanks!
