Implications - Disabled people are no longer bound to traditional wheelchairs; now they have a vast array of options that service different needs and appeal to different tastes. The concepts of customization seen in these wheelchair designs expand far beyond wheelchairs and into many other industries. Businesses that satisfy consumer cravings for customization are likely to succeed in this time of economic certainty because they offer something tailored and unique, thus standing out from the crowd.
