Christopher M.

Due to his diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Christopher M. has been sitting in a power wheelchair for several years. But munevo DRIVE is not his first electric wheelchair controll, because Christopher has already tried out various others, such as the normal hand joystick or the zero travel joystick. He got to know munevo and the smartglasses through his medical supply store and is now a happy owner of the munevo DRIVE unit. Thanks to the special controll, he can easily control his robotic arm, he can make phone calls independently and operate the PC. Because of munevo DRIVE, he has regained more independence and mobility and can perform everyday tasks himself again.
