Wheelchair Hand Grip Extensions - Adjustable & Comfortable Mobility Aid for Seniors & Disabled - Perfect for Daily Use, Outdoor Activities & Rehabilitation

These extensions really save my back and make it much easier to push my wife around. (When she's in the wheelchair, of course). I have actually pushed her around for hours with minimum discomfort due to not having to bend down as much. (I am 6'4" but these would benefit anyone over 6' I think).Easy to install, just follow the directions, LOL.Such a life saver! Brought my sons wheel chair to Disney land for his first time and didn’t want to kill my back, these were perfect, easy to assembleWow so glad I bought these x tensions … after pushing mom around I would have back pain! Not anymore these are a back saver!Adding these keeps me from bending over when pushing the wheelchair. Sorry I waited so long to get them. They work!I am 5'8" and don't enjoy bending over to push my husband's wheelchair. I contacted the Invacare company which made my husband's wheelchair to see if they made extensions for his chair (they don't). I saw these and decided to take a chance. I was warned by Invacare not to trust anything that just clamped on because it could slip. I went to the actual Wright Stuff website and looked at the directions online so I could get an idea of how these worked.They arrived sooner than I expected, which was very nice. The directions were not hard to follow. The actual welding looks a bit messy (the handle to the clamp), but it's very sturdy. I installed the handles and was very pleased with the strength of them. You'll need a Phillips head screwdriver and some pliers to hold the bottom nut as you tighten the screws.I've only had the extensions a week, but my back feels the difference. I will probably have to tighten the screws periodically, but the extensions seem very good. The actual hard plastic handles (very solid plastic) are better than what came with the wheelchair. The rest of the extension is made with extremely strong steel. I like that the handles are easily cleaned, unlike the porous spongy-type material on the wheelchair's own handles (I'm a bit of a germaphobe, and the spongy-type handle material doesn't really get clean).People have stopped me and asked how I got such tall handles. Too bad I don't have any business cards for the company!Hope all of this makes sense. :)Easily fitted and very solid, also more comfortable for the taller personThese handles are real back-savers and make pushing a wheelchair so much easier. I'm 6'2" and have always had to bend over to push my wife's wheelchair, and when there's a lot of pushing in the day, my back has gotten pretty painful. These handles raise the pushing height by about 5 inches (from 37" to 42"), and that's about perfect for me. The only problem was installation. Her wheelchair has hand-brakes and it wasn't possible to install these extension handles as designed. The bottom flange which goes under the handle has a long L-shaped tongue which is supposed to go around the bend of the wheelchair handle and fasten on the vertical column. The handbrake prevents that, so i had to have a machine shop cut off the tongue of the bottom flange so it could be attached to the top flange, and then securely tightened the two flanges together, and it worked well.These worked really well on our trip to Disney World. This made trekking thru the parks almost enjoyable. They were very easy to install, and make pushing an adult in a standard wheelchair almost bearable. No need to hunch over, and no sore back at the end of the day. My only gripe, was the tiny spots of rust from the humidity, that showed up on the welds the 1st day of use.Vraiment merveilleux, enfin on peut prendre une marcher sans avoir un mal de dos assurerI bought these handles to put on my wife's transport chair! What a difference this extra height made for me. NO MORE BACKACHE! I'm a tall man and before installing these, I had to bend over to push the handles and was getting backaches but no more with these strong, sturdy handles. Also, it is very convenient that I can still fold my wife's transport chair with ease and put it in the trunk of the vehicle.
