Assist ARM KS-WS

The Kenko Assist ARM Series is our life support product series for your everyday life. Kenko Assist ARM KS-WS is a wheelchair support accessory.

Generally, while riding in a wheelchair, users have to use their hands for pushing it. At times, this can be very bugging: every time users want to use their hands for something else, like e.g., checking a map on the tablet, they have to stop the wheelchair. We would like to find a way to solve this problem, which led us to the development of Kenko Assist ARM series. But with the Kenko Assist ARM, big problems like this can be solved easily, making daily life in a wheelchair much more comfortable. For example, great ways to use the Kenko Assist ARM is for attaching a tablet with the tablet holder, which allows you to look the map on the screen in front of you at any time, or enjoy shooting photos by attaching a camera to the tip of the pole. Through using a very strong clamp that can be attached to the wheelchair firmly, the risk of sudden disengagement while riding a wheelchair is very small. The angle and height can be freely adjusted to the preferences of the user.
