Few people can say who Garrett Brown is – but it was he who invented the Steadicam tool, which turned the world of video filming upside down. Now Garrett offers a phenomenon that is not only new, but very, very useful for people with disabilities. We are talking about a new vehicle, called Zeen. It not only helps and helps to move and sit comfortably, but also to get the ability to move from one position.
The idea for Zin came to Brown back in 2013 while watching his immobilized father. Some patients of the hospital moved on walkers, others with the help of wheelchairs. They can’t get up unaided cf, nn. Brown’s device completely solves this problem. It provides people with limited mobility much more freedom to move around.
Outwardly, it is very reminiscent of a non-alid chair, but has serious design deviations. The Zeen seat in its original state is at a comfortable height, which can be further adjusted. Two gas pistons. Having taken a vertical position, a person can walk, leaning on a chair, a seat belt will protect him from being transported. At the same time, you can not only walk, but not “slide” when Zeen moves after each step of the user.
All chair wheels can be rotated to any angle and are equipped with brakes. If you want to sit down, just adjust the lever on the steering wheel so that the seat smoothly lowers to do the job. Brown’s physique has a mass of only 18 kg and variability depending on the wearer’s weight. Garrett has already assembled the first 100 devices – by the way, one of them was ordered by Pope Francis. Serial production of Zeen has already been launched, you can buy it for 3800 dollars through the company’s website.
