# Dynamic Wheelchair Designs The Adagio+ Has Been Developed for Optimal Adaptable Ergonomics By Amelia Roblin | Published 2015-02-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dynamic-wheelchair References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/wheelchair-adagio-by-akram-ben-amor/) The designer of this dynamic wheelchair has sympathy for the fact that its users have little ambulatory abilities. Instead of creating a stiff structure for constant sitting, Akram Ben Amor has come up with a more flexible assembly. The goal was to make the mechanics of this [assistive seat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manual-wheelchair) as simple as possible––but perhaps it doesn't look that way. This is just because the equipment is capable of a great range of motion, requiring it to have a great number of hinges, joints and a few knobs and levers to modify its overall arrangement. The owner of this dynamic wheelchair is not bound to sitting straight up all day. The yellow Adagio+ [can be reclined](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/davidhugh-aiora), the foot supports can be raised and he can comfortably and conveniently have a nap right where he is. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Flexible Wheelchair Designs:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing wheelchairs with adaptable ergonomics to improve user comfort and mobility. - **Simplified Assistive Seats:** Opportunity to create assistive seats with simpler mechanics while maintaining a wide range of motion for users with limited mobility. - **Customizable Wheelchair Features:** Opportunity to design wheelchairs with adjustable foot supports and reclining capabilities to enhance user convenience and comfort. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Mobility Equipment Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation possibilities in the mobility equipment manufacturing industry to develop advanced and adaptable wheelchair designs. - **Assistive Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the assistive technology sector to create simplified and customizable solutions for people with limited mobility. - **Healthcare and Rehabilitation:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the healthcare and rehabilitation industry to improve wheelchair designs and enhance user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modified Wheelchair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaning-wheelchair.md) - [Upright Wheelchair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kime-wheelchair.md) - [Luxury Discrete Wheelchair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discrete-wheelchair.md) - [Transformable Lightweight Wheelchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheeliy.md) - [Adaptive Mobility Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sofia-mobility.md) - [Luxe Lounge Motorized Wheelchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-resilience.md) - [Modular Powered Wheelchair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheelchair-hand-cycle.md) - [Robotic Movement-Interpreting Wheelchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honda-unione.md) - [Dynamic Intelligent Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dynamic-spinecare.md)
