iLevel® Reaches 30,000 Users as Edge 3 Stretto™ Launch Nears

DURYEA, PA – iLevel® seat elevation technology by Quantum Rehab® is now in use by more than 30,000 consumers. The milestone was attained earlier this week when iLevel Power Chair number 30,000 went through production. iLevel is also one of the main driving factors behind the creation of the new Edge 3 Stretto™, which is set to launch in January.

Released in 2015, iLevel is a power seat elevating system that promotes independence and social inclusion. As iLevel elevates, the power base reinforces stability electronically and mechanically to ensure safety at 12 inches of elevation while driving up to 4.5 mph, an industry first! iLevel’s patented Extra Stability Technology® enhances safety for transfers, reach and numerous other activities of daily living.

“We are very excited and humbled to see the continued success of iLevel technology throughout the industry,” said Jay Brislin, Vice President, Quantum Rehab. “iLevel has proven to provide clients with higher levels of independence throughout their daily lives and this is only the beginning. With the continued client success stories we have seen with iLevel, it was only appropriate to incorporate this technology into our next new exciting Group 3 product launch, the Edge 3 Stretto. The Edge 3 Stretto is designed to allow for all power positioning functions in a much narrower footprint than most Group 3 product offerings to not only solve the needs of adult clients, but to reach milestones never achieved before for the pediatric power population. The narrow footprint of the Edge 3 Stretto combined with the advanced performance of iLevel will provide pediatric clients the ability to navigate within their environment and reach new heights in functional mobility that they haven’t been able to achieve before.”

Quantum Rehab® is a premier global innovator of consumer-inspired complex rehab products, including the Edge 3, 4Front®, and Quantum Series of power bases, iLevel® seat elevation technology, TRU-Balance® 3 Power Positioning Systems, Q-Logic 3 Advanced Drive Controls, and Stealth Products® cushions and positioning components.

Quantum Rehab and Pride Mobility Host 10th Annual Disability Mentoring Day

DURYEA, PA – Pride Mobility Products® and Quantum Rehab® offered approximately 20 Luzerne Intermediate Unit students with disabilities an opportunity to be mentored by career professionals in various fields during its 10th Annual Disability Mentoring Day (DMD) on Thursday, Oct. 10 at the company’s Duryea facility.

DMD is designed to bring students with disabilities into the workplace where they can learn about various career paths. Through Pride and Quantum’s 10th Annual DMD event, participants had the opportunity to meet with professionals to learn the typical job responsibilities and the necessary knowledge and skills needed for a specific vocation. Careers in research and development, sales, technical service and production were highlighted. The students were able to tour the production area and see a state-of-the-art test lab.

“We look forward to this day every year because we want to teach young people like yourself about business,” said Scott Meuser, Chairman and CEO of Pride and Quantum. “Just like in sports, there are different positions available here. Find out what you are interested in. We hope that today gives you better insight into what you want to do when you get older.”

Many of the students enjoyed being up close and personal to see how power wheelchairs are made and learned about the vast number of careers at the company, from an assembler to a sales representative.

“I liked learning how they make the wheelchairs and learning that just because you are in a wheelchair, doesn’t mean you can’t do things,” said Richard Breton.

Jacklyn Rose Chmiola shared a similar sentiment.

“I liked everything including how people with disabilities were making wheelchairs better and giving their feedback. I learned there are a lot of opportunities even if you have a disability,” Chmiola said.

DMD originated at the White House in 1999 with less than three dozen local individuals participating. Now hosted by the American Association of People with Disabilities, the nation’s largest cross-disability membership organization, DMD has evolved significantly to encompass participation in all 50 states and many countries around the world.

Viral Video Sensation “Back Up Terry” Receives Edge 3 Power Chair with iLevel®

Thursday, July 25, 2019

MEMPHIS, TN – “Back Up Terry” received a Quantum Rehab® Edge 3 Power Chair with iLevel® on Monday at his Memphis, Tennessee home.

The viral video “Back Up Terry” has close to 4 million views on YouTube. When two GoFundMe accounts were started to purchase a new power wheelchair for the video’s star, Terry Davis, Quantum Rehab® and Team Adaptive partnered to donate the chair to him. All the GoFundMe money raised will go toward an accessible van and home modifications.

“With iLevel, Terry can reach his Steelers cup in the cabinet and he is able to get ice and water for himself,” said Annette Carter, Terry’s mother. “Previously someone had to do that for him. His grandma does not cook with as much spice as I do, and he is able to reach the spices himself now. Also, I would always have to kiss Terry’s head when I was leaving the house because I can’t always bend down. Now I can just lean over and kiss him.”

Davis’ chair features iLevel technology, an industry-first power seat elevating system that promotes independence and social inclusion. As iLevel elevates, the power base reinforces stability electronically and mechanically to ensure safety at 12 inches of elevation while driving at 4.5 mph, an industry first! iLevel’s patented Extra Stability Technology® enhances safety for transfers, reach and numerous other activities of daily living.

“The world is not designed around seated heightx, and unfortunately, wheelchair users for too long have been excluded from many everyday functional tasks and interactions beyond their physical reach,” said Jay Brislin, Vice President of Quantum Rehab. “Once we learned Terry needed a new power wheelchair, we had to help. We knew iLevel would be beneficial to Terry, not just in escaping lit fireworks, but in regaining some of his independence.”
