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.
