Tek RMD Accessories - The Outdoor Kit

The Tek RMD from Matia Mobility was designed as an indoor product that allowed users with weak or paralysed legs to stand and move. This in itself has been a great boon for clients who wished to have greater independence for their day to day activities. Some clients discovered that the Tek RMD would work just fine on the outside deck or paving but the arrival of the Outdoor Kit accessory greatly extends this ability.

If you look closely you will see that the front wheels are larger, pneumatic and placed on a wider wheel base. The tailpiece is larger too and similarly using a wider wheel base. The user is able to transition from paving onto grass and still maintain traction.

Note that the user is held in a slightly “flexed knee” position to enhance stability.

The content of the Tek RMD Outdoor kit is shown above. Note the new front wheels and larger tail section. The trolley jack slides under the front of the unit and the long pole (supplied in 2 sections) is used to raise the Tek RMD up. The long handled spanner provided has a magnetic wheel nut retainer. The kit is designed so that many users will be able to change from indoor to outdoor without assistance.
