Nextek Mobility Corporation is developing a power wheelchair technology unlike any the world has ever seen, with capabilities beyond those previously experienced. In 1995 Nextek Mobility was incorporated in the sunny state of New Mexico. While additional prototypes were built and patents applied for, the search for capital became a focus. In 1998 Nextek was awarded a Phase I SBIR from the National Institutes of Health. (1R43HD34643-01A) With chairs lined up for trials in hospitals throughout Albuquerque, NM, the ten-year dream technology —a top-rated, life-enhancing, fully functional parallel all-wheel steering power chair—is closer than ever to being realized. Tour the site to see how far the PAWS chair has advanced. PAWS is “Parallel All Wheel Steering”— Nextek Mobility Corporation’s new power wheelchair technology. It is called PAWS because the seat and all of the wheels share a common linkage that allows them to rotate relative to the frame but maintains them parallel to one another. This unique configuration has many advantages. The PAWS technology provides the wheelchair user with the ultimate combination of maneuverability and stability for both indoor and outdoor use.
