In our new Spotlight video, we focus on the Decon E-Move and E-Drive wheelchair power assists available from Recare.

Ashleigh Hall, Recare Rehabilitation Consultant, discusses how the E-Drive and E-Move power add-ons enable users to save energy and overcome longer distances or terrains that might normally be avoided.

➡️ The E-Move is a hub-mounted drive unit providing powered assistance for manual wheelchair users. One propulsion will take users up to 20 metres. There are a variety of customisable settings to fine-tune for specific needs.

➡️ The E-Drive power assist has a joystick set-up - either mounted on the wheelchair arm and controlled by the user, or mounted at the back and controlled by an attendant. Switch seamlessly between manual propulsion and power-assisted control as required.

We support many clients living with hyperlordosis - characterised by an excessive inward curve of the lower back, often linked with a forward-tilting pelvis.

Comfort, adjustability and balanced pressure distribution are always top priorities.

To help manage pain and support posture, we often recommend solutions like the Vicair Liberty specialist back cushion. It’s lightweight, easy to transport and can stay in a folding wheelchair for everyday convenience.

For more personalised support, the Free Form modular backrest can be shaped to match an individual’s body contours for a tailored fit.

Retired soldier revels in coastal freedom with Genny powerchair from Recare.

Meet Richard Packer, 55, from Fraserburgh, Scotland - a medically-retired soldier who’s rediscovered his love for the great outdoors thanks to the power and independence of the Ottobock Genny powerchair.

Read our latest customer story 👉 https://www.recare.co.uk/news-stories/retired-soldier-revels-in-coastal-freedom-with-genny-powerchair-from-recare/

The Genny, manufactured by Ottobock, is a two-wheel, powered wheelchair that incorporates state-of-the-art self-balancing technology.

After injuries sustained in the Armed Forces, followed by illness, Richard’s mobility became more limited. That’s when he and his wife Lynn researched online and reached out to Help for Heroes. The charity and assistive product specialist Recare worked together to find the answer – the Genny.

“The Genny simply means I can get out more, especially to walk my Canine Partner Ace. It’s a tremendous machine - it doesn’t hesitate at all going down tracks.
It’s not just its ability to go off-road, it’s the comfort level that’s the best.
It makes me feel normal and I can do so much more.” – Richard Packer


Help For Heroes

Richard Packer, 55, from Fraserburgh in Scotland and medically retired solider, has reignited his passion for the great outdoors thanks to the power and independence delivered by an Ottobock Genny powerchair from Recare.

When Elisa received her new Ottobock Zenit wheelchair from Recare, she shared thoughtful feedback about her experience - from assessment through to daily use.

Elisa lives with neurological damage that affects her walking and hand-eye coordination. She has built a successful 25-year career as a qualified accountant and teaches apprentices alongside her commercial work.

Finding a wheelchair tailored to her specific needs has been essential to both her professional and personal independence.

💬 Elisa says:
“Because Recare have got a good showroom, you're literally shown different styles of wheelchairs from all sorts of manufacturers - powered and manual. You get to sit in them, you get to feel what a seat feels like, what a cushion feels like.
They’ve got so much expertise and knowledge, and they’ve met so many of us who are physically using the wheelchairs, that they’re very good at saying 'these are your options'…”

At Recare, we take pride in providing an expert-led assessment process, ensuring every client finds the right mobility solution for their lifestyle.

Compact, highly manoeuvrable and designed with growing children in mind, the Skippi’s fully adjustable seat system adapts as the user develops.

Parents love its adjustable components, easy lifting and storage, and practical everyday versatility.

At Recare, we recommend the Skippi for children from around age two, with many continuing to benefit until the age of six or seven - depending on growth and needs.
