Efficient mechanism conserving muscle energy and eliminating redundant effort

With the Avant Mobility system, there is no loss of motion as the operator’s hands are not required to release and re-position on the driving device, thus the forward momentum is not lost. 

There is a kinematic advantage of doubling the effective propulsive motion. For example; a 15 degree forward and 15 degree backwards propulsive motion in the Avant Mobility is equivalent to a 30 degree forward propulsive motion followed by 30 degree backwards non-propulsive motion of the conventional wheelchair, but it is much easier to achieve.

Promotes motion in a more comfortable position

The ergonomic advantage refers to the position of the arms and upper body during the wheelchair motion. Additional comfort comes from eliminating the need of the upper body to move in a back and forth motion. 

Activates the most intuitive upper body muscle groups

The Avant Mobility wheelchair advances forward with both the flexion and the extension of the arms. That means that the biceps, which are stronger and create the flexion of the arms, will help propel the wheelchair forward not backwards as this motion would do in a conventional wheelchair. The triceps which create the extension of the arms will also propel the wheelchair forward as in the conventional wheelchair. 

Creates a new and desirable experience, enhancing the ability to conquer new spaces

People that used the Avant Mobility propulsion mechanism realized that it is more intuitive and easier to maneuver on inclined surfaces, and feels more natural than the conventional system.
