Strapparatus Wins Mobility Management 'Best New Trunk Positioning Device' Award

OVERVIEW

The Strapparatus from Symmetric Designs has been recognised by Mobility Management magazine as the 'Best New Trunk Positioning Device.' Mobility Management is a leading trade publication for the complex rehabilitation and assistive technology industry, and its product awards recognise innovation and clinical value across the seating, mobility, and positioning categories.

WHAT THE STRAPPARATUS DOES

The Strapparatus is a strap management accessory for wheelchair users who use anterior trunk supports, belts, harnesses, and other positioning straps. These straps are clinically important for maintaining posture and safety, but when not in use they can droop, tangle, or become difficult to locate and fasten, creating frustration for users, caregivers, and clinicians.

The Strapparatus holds positioning straps in a stable, accessible position when they are not fastened, keeping them organised and easy to apply. It mounts onto the headrest hardware, including Twin Hardware, and works with standard strap systems. The result is a more practical experience for everyone involved in daily transfers and positioning routines.

WHY THE AWARD IS SIGNIFICANT

Recognition from Mobility Management reflects validation from within the assistive technology and complex rehab community. The 'Best New' category specifically recognises products that have demonstrably improved on existing approaches, in this case, addressing a real-world workflow problem that affects daily care routines for many wheelchair users.
