The Abilities Expo at the International Centre Jan 19-21, 2018

The Expo for the second year didn't have the variety of the previous year but showed an innovation of wheelchairs that allow the patient/user to stand up (supported) using the theory that standing a certain portion of the time is necessary to maintain ones health.

One of the suppliers of stand up wheelchairs, EasyStand has a dealership in named 'Terve'. The representative, Andrew Gardeen, had been to Tallinn several years ago and was impressed by the beauty.

Some of the other wheelchairs were ones with tank type tracks and four wheel drive that can go up stairs but cost around twenty five thousand dollars.

Other displays were services that benefit the handicapped.
