Our Story

The spark for Ziggy came in 2019 with Nicole, physiotherapist, and Yrsa, her daughter:

"More and more often we noticed that our 18-year old daughter, Yrsa, who has profound intellectual and mental disabilities wants more contact with us. She frequently turns her head around to glimpse us. She also makes some noise  - even though she cannot talk - as if she wants to call for us. Through this behaviour, I realised how little contact there actually is when you are pushing a wheelchair from behind - when walking together is an especially social activity.”

How does Ziggy work?

Attachable to a range of wheelchairs

Ziggy consists of two parts; an adapter which stays mounted to your wheelchair and the pushing bar.

​

Ease of pushing

Thanks to Ziggy's design, it is comparable to pushing a wheelchair from behind, and falls within occupational health standards.

 

Novel design

We currently have a patent pending on our technology - showing it's uniqueness!

I could finally walk next to my husband again instead of behind. It feels more equal
