Our Mission...
Our mission is to market high quality wheelchair accessible, products that meet the vocational, recreational, and rehabilitation needs of people with quadriplegia (tetraplegia).

The UPPERTONE is our physical therapy product.

The QuadTrac and QuadDesk are our occupational therapy products.

The QuadCommander is our recreational rehabilitation product.

All these products are designed to be quad friendly.

Quads can use the UPPERTONE and make all adjustments without any help or cuffs.

The QuadDesk is totally wheelchair accessible, and the rotating top keeps all items within easy reach.

The remote buttons on the QuadTrac allow people to move the track ball with one hand and click with the other.

The QuadCommander has only only one purpose in life, to provide hours of unadulterated fun for people with quadriplegia or limited hand function.
