Who is the Swiss-Trac suitable for?
The Swiss-Trac is suitable for adults and children from the age of 7 who are able to move themselves around in their wheelchair a little.
Paraplegics and quadriplegics
The Swiss-Trac can be operated with a paralysis level of up to about C 5/6. Control aids like a special gas stick or driving aid are useful if you have a severely limited gripping function.
Hemiplegics
In case of paralysis of one half of the body (hemiplegia), the Swiss-Trac can be set up for one-handed operation. Driving assistance also helps relieve your arms and shoulders.
Progressive Illnesses
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Poliomyelitis (Polio)
- Friedreich's Ataxia

…and similar illnesses can lead to reduced walking ability. If you are dependent on a wheelchair because of a progressive illness, you can extend your mobility with the Swiss-Trac.
