Critical Problems with Conventional Phone Holders
Phone holders available on the market are not designed for wheelchair users, which presents two main issues:
-
Systems that are easy to use for people with limited dexterity do not hold the phone securely. As a result, the phone is at high risk of breaking when used on a wheelchair that vibrates or absorbs shocks.
-
Systems designed for maximum durability, usually intended for motorcycles or bicycles, provide excellent stability but require significant strength and dexterity, often needing the use of both hands.
