For many wheelchair users, navigating slopes and uneven surfaces means constant, exhausting braking. DREEFT® is a dynamic braking system that integrates directly into a manual wheelchair, providing permanent, intuitive braking assistance to reduce physical effort and improve confidence and control on downhill terrain. With DREEFT® now approved for 100% reimbursement in France, this essential mobility solution is becoming more accessible to eligible manual wheelchair users nationwide. TMF supported @EPPUR_eu to advance the clinical research, evidence, and collaboration needed to bring this solution to the people who can benefit from it. TMF continues to work alongside EPPUR and Motion Composites to support user trials and expand access across France. Learn more: toyotamobilityfoundation.org…

Text: A clinical study conducted by EPPUR with support from TMF demonstrated: 76% increase in user satisfaction during downhill mobility. 71% of participants wanted to continue using DREEFT after the study. These results contributed to a major milestone: 100% reimbursement under the French national health system, enabling nationwide access for eligible users.
