Ostrich Mobility Instruments Pvt. Ltd. Bangalore, KA

Ostrich mobility instruments ostrich mobility is a technology company that is dedicated to design, develop and manufacture personal mobility equipments (pme). Company entered the field of powered wheelchairs back in 2003 when the first prototypes for indoor use were developed and in 2004 company launched powered wheelchairs verve 40 and verve 100. Two models of all- terrain powered wheelchairs, pristine and galaxy were launched in 2007 with state-of-the –art technology. The ultimate happiness these equipments provide is a result of continuous research and development by experts and the use of the finest parts and components form trusted vendors. Under the global brand ostrich, company now offers different models of powered wheelchairs where its unique ideas and engineering solutions are combined. New technology for powered wheelchairs ostrich mobility developed many technologies for electric wheelchairs and also filed patents for the same. Some of the revolutionary technologies are a. Split frame chassis (sfc)-a technology that changed the way in which wheelchairs are being used conventional wheelchairs have a single frame chassis on to which all the four wheels, motors, seat and batteries are fixed. For this type of conventional wheelchairs the wheels lifts up when there is a ground level difference and can cause uncomfortable ride that can even lead to accidents. Ostrich’s split frame chassis technology (sfs) for wheelchairs solved this problem completely. With sfc all the four wheels will always be in contact with the ground even if there is a ground level difference thus assuring good drive control and maneuverability. Sfc on wheelchairs also reduces side drag and ensures very fine drive control while negotiating up and down gradient. Sfc technology also helps drive across inclines thereby making the wheelchair safer and more maneuverable. B. Automated wheelbase adjuster (awa) with the help of this technology the wheelchair can be made small enough to negotiate the tight indoor conditions and long enough to handle the toughest outdoor terrain. This is by adjusting the wheel base of the wheelchair automatically using joystick.
