Replacement for the Liftware devices?

Hello from Virginia,

I think we have discussed this, but wondering if any states have tried the Bravo Twist or Bravo Classic utensils for tremors.  (since Liftware says they do not know when they will start production again).  

 

Thanks  PKM

    MN does have the Gyenno Classic. We much prefer the Liftware.

    Paula, 

    I recently (06/20/2024) received this response from Liftware regarding availability: 

    "Hi Ryan,

    Thank you for your interest in Liftware.

    Both the Liftware Level and Steady Starter Kits are currently out of stock and we don’t have an estimate for when either item will be restocked.

    Unfortunately as we are the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of Liftware devices, this item will not be available from authorized 3rd party vendors.

    Please let us know if you have any questions, and thank you for your patience.

    Best wishes,
    Dominique from the Liftware team"

     

    BUMMER!

    Ryan

      Thanks Angela,

      Interesting.  You are right, don't think it has the ability to decrease the tremor movement of the food but would work well for folks using a typical U cuff. I can hear some of my former clients say it is a bit bulky but others would think it is great! Good option! Thanks for sharing!

      I really like this guitar holder adaptation! Very difficult to hold a guitar and push your chair!

       The Hitch and Roll dude is quite the character (watch the bowling with goats vid) - a local vet from San Antonio does all  this out of his garage. His modular system is super cool- if you have the receiver in any place you light (wheelchair, car, recliner, couch)- you can put the thing you need held into it. And he will custom create what ever- mostly with found or off the shelf items from home depot. I think he under prices a bit but what do I know. He had a booth at our conference FULL of all kinds of things one might need attached to your wheelchair.
