We all know that transfer activities are done daily by wheelchair users, caregivers, therapists and nursing staff.  Getting into and out our bed can be a daunting task.  With the latest invention from Nanyang Polytechnic, the wheelchair fitted with a retractable rear wheel facilitates user transfer without lifting and turning thereby preventing unwanted injuries.  The new award design adds a new dimension to the manual wheelchair. Currently, the rear wheel is obstructing placement of transfer board which is often used during lateral transfer.  With the wheel retracted, the wide unobstructed seat will allow for easier positioning of the transfer board and increase stability during transfer.  The wheelchair can be fitted with Left or Right Retractable Wheel or both Left and Right.
