The Adaptive Creations Group has designed something that could help quite a few people. Being a C-5 quad incomplete for 12 years, the accessibility of a cup, phone, or other equipment with safety included is a key for someone in a wheelchair. I could see this helping quite a few people.

In discussing her mother, Donna explained, she was in a wheelchair and used to sit in a recliner all the time. One of the issues she had was she liked to have a desk area to work and it would have been helpful to have a flat surface. She had this thing that she used that was like a circular piece of wood that was meant to put on your lap, but was never really good for her to do any paperwork or anything so she just made do. But it wasn’t ideal. She had to use a snack table and when she was in the chair it would have been nice to some way to drink without having help every time. My mom had very serious psoriatic arthritis which meant that her fingers and joints were bent. She couldn’t even write towards the end. It was very bad. Her shoulders were all messed up from arthritis so she really couldn’t lift anything very high. So if you can’t lift anything, even a cup can be hard. She had to grab it with both hands. She had to use her palms to bring it up to her face. The hands-free system would have been helpful. Yes, I see a lot of utility for that especially among the elderly and God knows that there a bunch of elderly people around these days.

So as a hands-free support system I’ll be using this for my music on the iPad and sheet book form as well as for my beverage and it will be mounted to my mike stand so I’ll have three different things happening from this one set up; the vocal, the drink, and the music. Awesome hands-free, Bluetooth foot controls for changing the thing on my iPad and it’s just an awesome thing for any musician or singer, or drummer.

What happens when I work on my stuff I put my cup here and I have my hands full of glue and it gets really messy. I like the idea, it’s great and also it reminds me to drink because I’ve got it right in front of my face. I don’t always drink enough when I work, So it’s a great idea. I like it.

Man, I want to give a big shout out to the hands-free support system. Here I am, up and down now, and I can lean over and take a sip and I can sing as well. Man, it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread for me because while I’m drumming, I get a little thirsty and it’s awesome to just be able to lean over and take my drink and not even miss a beat man. I love that hands-free it’s really an awesome invention.

I’ve always gamed my whole life and now that streaming is blowing up, this hands-free device makes all kinds of opportunities open up because you can get your drink while still playing. If you’ve played online games, as soon as you put the controller down game over.

Chris Akal

I usually game around 30+ hours a week, with those hours holding my controller. It almost makes it impossible to take a drink, especially with games being 20 minutes or longer then the following game starting right after. Using this hands-free support system has allowed me to utilize one of my best assets for gaming…my brain. It allows me to stay sharp and focused while playing. This device allowed me to keep my phone at eye level as well to see if any calls or texts were worth answering within less than a second. And in gaming it’s everything. Happy to have used such a versatile device.

Justin Apoloto

Having been able to us this product firsthand, I can speak to its ingenuity and functionality. I used the product on my gaming chair to hold my huge 32 oz tumbler while I played. What was most impressive was the ability for adjustment so that the straw was just inches from my mouth making it much easier to multitask.

Robert White, as told by Steven White

My father, Robert White, a retired Army officer with 44 years of service, suffered from Parkinson’s Disease and was dropping his coffee mug at the breakfast table. We invented the ACG Hands-Free Support System to take the hands out of the equation for him and others suffering from many types of disabilities, as well as to help their caregivers at home and in healthcare facilities.
