Gelo News Moose Call Oct 2020

Moose Call October 2020 The Moose Call By Joshua E. Barnum Editor's Note: Josh is... well ?? Josh. And... Josh wrote this. New Discovery at Tutankhamen's Tomb An archeologist today discovered that a chariot from King Tut's tomb had been misidentified as a chariot since it's discovery by Carter in 1921. Upon further study it turns out it was a LaBac Manual tilt chair in perfect operating condition except for the left hand brake. The museum has contacted LaBac to see if the 3200 year old chair was still under warranty. They were in luck. The brake has been replaced and all is well. Oh, the Manual Chair? Lest we forget that manual chairs come in at least 13 varieties, until you come up with a new wrinkle on a 3200 year old concept. I do want to thank Annette at the VA Milwaukee for studying her history and remembering fondly her LaBac options. Annette, its lonely being a LaBac fan, but you aren't alone. Paul Ellin at the VA Hines has a certain nostalgia for LaBac. And don't forget that you can rent a LaBac if you are only going to need it short term. Yes, contrary to prevailing belief, prosthetics can rent! We do it all the time on prone carts. So, what are the versions and counting? Manual, tilt, recline, tilt and recline Power tilt, recline and tilt and recline along with power elevating legs (traditional or center mount), and combination of the above. 2 stage tilt where the client can't come all the way forward without falling out of the chair. Have a switch that has limited movement for the client and an attendant switch with full range And controls current or undreamed off: sip and puff, micro switches, head switches, tape switches, latched where it will go all the way back or forward with one tap, Mid-wheel where the clients wants the wheels centered where they can reach them and self-propel Interchangeable batteries so the chair won't run out of power Up to 450 pound capacity with power controls Power conversion for any of the manual tilt chairs on the market Robopaws where the chair can be programmed to automatically tilt the client at the desired times Cordelia Barnum Cordelia's Advice: A booboo tomorrow never hurts today.
