How PAWS Functions in Daily Life
Page Content
 |
PAWS making tracks: While the PAWS chair negotiates a curve, the frame remains in the same orientation. This results in the wheel paths crossing over one another, and the path length of each wheel to be the same. |

|
 |
PAWS in an elevator: PAWS wheelchairs have the ability to pivot over their center allowing true zero turning radius operation, and making operation in tight quarters a breeze. |
| |
|
 |
PAWS in public facilities: While providing safe, simple operation, mobility and maneuverability, negotiating indoor challenges is only the beginning of the capabilities of the PAWS technology. |

|
 |
PAWS in an office cubicle: Because each wheel has the same path length, all of the wheels rotate at the same rate independent of the curve negotiated. |
| |
|
 |
PAWS on a car ramp: Because the wheels rotate the same rate, driven wheels can be controlled with simpler non-differential electronics, and full time all wheel drive is naturally implemented. |
| |
|
 |
PAWS ease of use and movement: The incredible turning radius enables access and maneuverablility in tricky settings. Remember—the frame remains in the same orientation, and the path length of each wheel is the same. |

 |
PAWS on a slope: PAWS wheelchairs have no casters, so they have no tendency to swerve downhill while traversing a slope. And the all wheel drive system has ample power to climb slopes. |

|
 |
PAWS on a variety of terrains: The full-time all-wheel drive and all-wheel independent suspension provide exceptional performance on a variety of surfaces, including sand... |
