98% of healthcare professionals recommend Dreeft to their patients
Since 2016, we've had Dreeft tested in a dozen rehabilitation centers, interviewed over a hundred manual wheelchair users, and dozens of occupational therapists, physiotherapists and PRM doctors. We realized that, apart from the problem of braking, the mobility and autonomy of people with disabilities were all too often hampered.
Our Approach
Since 2016, we have tested Dreeft in around ten rehabilitation centers, surveyed over a hundred manual wheelchair users, and consulted dozens of occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and MPR physicians. We realized that beyond the issue of braking, the mobility and independence of people with disabilities are still too often limited.
Restoring autonomy
Dreeft gives you precious freedom of movement and autonomy! By facilitating braking control, it enables users to manage their wheelchair more easily, even in complex situations such as downhill slopes or crowded spaces.
No more worries about lack of control! Dreeft offers enhanced safety, encouraging users to move around more confidently and explore new environments.
Reduce pain
Dreeft is a major ally in the preservation of the upper limbs. By reducing the effort required for braking, it considerably reduces repeated and excessive stress on shoulder, elbow and wrist joints.
Users no longer need to apply the brakes hard, which minimizes muscular tension and the risk of injury.
What's more, by enabling finer, more gradual control of braking, Dreeft avoids jolts and shocks that can be particularly painful for people with weak joints or muscles.
Eliminate the risk of burns
Dreeft revolutionizes braking by eliminating direct and prolonged friction between hands and handrims , the main cause of burns.
Dreeft's innovative design allows for smooth and progressive braking control via the handrim, without requiring intense clamping or prolonged contact with rotating surfaces. The reduction in friction thus ensures total protection against heating and burning , guaranteeing comfortable and safe use, even during repeated braking or downhill.

Since 2016, our device has been recognized in several competitions and calls for projects, including the Design & Disability Award from the French Society of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (SOFMER).
Launched in 2015 by SOFMER, this innovation competition reflects the society’s commitment to identifying, supporting, and promoting innovative products that serve people with disabilities and contribute to rehabilitation.
