InventHelp Inventor Develops Wheelchair Braking Mechanism (PTA-438)

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- "I'm a long-term care physician, and I wanted to create a braking mechanism that would prevent a wheelchair from moving backwards when the wheelchair user was exiting the chair," said an inventor, from Tucson, Ariz., "so I invented the BRAKETHROUGH. My design would increase safety for wheelchair users."

The invention prevents wheelchairs from rolling backwards. In doing so, it helps prevent falls and injuries. As a result, it increases safety, and it provides added peace of mind. The invention features a practical and lightweight design that is easy to apply and use so it is ideal for wheelchair users.

The original design was submitted to the National sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
