The paragolfer was developed for, and by golfers who have to be seated to play, but can be used also for other sporting activities or hobbies that require an upright posture.
The Paragolfer enables the disabled golfer to move about the golf course, in the same manner as a cart, but enables the player to be raised into a secured standing position when swinging the club.
The therapeutic advantages for the player in being raised into a standing position are numerous.
Blood circulation, muscle, digestive system and movement of joints can all benefit.
During the course of 2006 the paragolfer in co-operation with Otto Bock will be presented worldwide at golf tournaments and exhibitions. Further information can be obtain fromwww.bgc-golf.de
The Paramobile was designed and developed by Christian Nachtwey (ex European champion of wheelchair golfer) and Anthony Netto (wheelchair bound golf professional), in partnership with Otto Bock Health Care, a worldwide manufacture of wheelchairs, rehabilitation and medical products.
