WHO WE ARE

Welcome to ASTRIS PME

<h2>A Revolutionary Wheelchair Innovation for a Smoother, More Comfortable Ride</h2>At Astris PME, we are committed to delivering the most advanced and effective assistive technologies available - and we’re proud to announce that Loopwheels, the revolutionary suspension wheelchair wheels from the UK, are now available through our showroom locations across Australia and our nationwide network of Specialist Consultants. Whether you're visiting one of our showrooms or connecting with our mobile team, you can now experience the comfort, performance, and health benefits that Loopwheels bring to manual wheelchair users.<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://api.astris-pme.com.au/storage/upload/2025-05-14/image/1747199515_1747199515_xHA1euOB.jpg" alt=""/></figure>What Are Loopwheels?Loopwheels are an award-winning innovation in wheelchair wheel technology, designed and manufactured in England. These high-performance wheels feature a built-in suspension system, created using three carbon composite springs positioned between the hub and the rim. This unique design allows the hub to ‘float’ within the wheel, dramatically reducing the shock and vibration transmitted through the wheelchair.Ideal for both everyday use and more challenging terrain, Loopwheels are particularly effective at smoothing out rough surfaces, absorbing impact from potholes, curbs, or uneven paths - all without the need for bulky suspension frames or additional components.<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://astris-pme.com.au/loopwheels-urban"><img src="https://api.astris-pme.com.au/storage/upload/2025-05-14/image/1747178019_1747178019_sJpf9hmH.png" alt=""/></a></figure><h2>Why Vibration Reduction Matters: Whole Body Vibration and Health</h2>Manual wheelchair users are often exposed to Whole Body Vibration (WBV) -the cumulative effect of shocks and tremors experienced while rolling over everyday surfaces. Prolonged exposure to WBV has been linked to increased neck and back pain, muscle fatigue, and long-term spinal issues. In fact:<ul><li>Over 60% of manual wheelchair users report back or neck pain.</li><li>Around 40% alter their daily routines due to vibration-related discomfort (Boninger et al, 2006).</li></ul>Loopwheels offer a clinically backed solution. Independent research, including a 2024 study by the University of Pittsburgh, found that Loopwheels deliver:✅ Up to 70% reduction in vibration at the seat when paired with a front power add-on (Loopwheels internal testing, 2017) ✅ 35% overall reduction in vibration exposure in real-world community use ✅ 50% reduction in shock impact versus traditional spoked wheels ✅ A smoother, more comfortable ride, with reduced pain and greater activity participation<h2>Handcrafted Innovation with a Story</h2>Loopwheels were invented by British engineer and designer Sam Pearce, who set out to ‘reinvent the wheel’ from his home workshop in Nottinghamshire, England. Sam partnered with local archery bow makers KG Archery to craft the highly tuned carbon composite springs used in each wheel. The result is a blend of engineering expertise, British craftsmanship, and premium materials - designed to improve the everyday lives of wheelchair users around the world.<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-style-default"><img src="https://api.astris-pme.com.au/storage/upload/2025-05-12/image/1747019540_1747019540_28sS7s1o.png" alt=""/></figure><h2>Now Available Australia-Wide Through Astris PME</h2>Thanks to our new partnership with Loopwheels, this innovative solution is now accessible to more Australians than ever before.

Mobility is about more than just moving from one place to another—it’s the foundation of independence, self-expression, and participation in life. For children, it’s essential for exploring their environment, engaging with peers, and achieving developmental milestones. Without the right supports, barriers to mobility can hinder these vital experiences, impacting their physical, social, and emotional growth.For children with mobility challenges, the right equipment can be life-changing, opening doors to opportunities and helping them thrive in their everyday lives. Here’s why investing in the right paediatric mobility aids is crucial.Why Mobility Supports Are Essential1. Fostering IndependenceThe right mobility equipment empowers children to perform daily activities, helping them build a sense of autonomy and belonging. Whether it’s a wheelchair, walker, or a custom seating system on a power wheelchair, tailored solutions enable children to navigate their world, promoting independence and engagement. By matching assistive technology supports to the child’s unique abilities, environment, and goals, they can confidently take on new challenges and experiences.2. Promoting Social ParticipationAccess to mobility is a fundamental human right. Without it, children may face isolation from peers, which can hinder their social and emotional development. Proper supports ensure that children can participate fully in school, play, and community activities, bridging the gap between ability and opportunity.Interacting with their environment and peers allows children to develop problem-solving skills, build confidence, and grow emotionally. Selecting supports suited to their developmental stage ensures they can connect with their world in meaningful ways, fostering both growth and inclusion.3. Enhancing Physical HealthWell-designed and tailored mobility aids help prevent complications that may arise from poor posture, including digestive problems, muscle weakness, fatigue, or pressure-related skin issues. Whether it’s a stander, gait trainer, or manual wheelchair with seating supports, equipment that facilitates safe positioning contributes to a child’s long-term physical well-being. By promoting good alignment and reducing the risk of these complications, these aids also help maintain health and comfort as children grow.Finding the Perfect Fit: One Size Does Not Fit AllEvery child has unique needs, abilities, and aspirations. Choosing the right mobility equipment involves careful assessment and collaboration between families, allied health professionals, and mobility aid suppliers. This teamwork ensures equipment is comfortable, supports ongoing use, and can adapt to growth or changing needs.As children develop, their mobility needs often evolve. Transitioning from a stroller to a power wheelchair, for example, requires thorough planning and support to ensure the new equipment meets their goals. A personalised approach is key to unlocking their full potential.More Than a Tool: A Gateway to a Fulfilled LifeThe right mobility equipment is more than just a tool—it’s a gateway to a richer, more meaningful life. It helps children connect with the world around them, achieve developmental milestones, and reach their potential. By prioritising tailored supports, they help every child experience the joy of movement, inclusion, and independence.To learn more about Astris PME’s paediatric mobility range and how we can support your child’s needs, contact our team at 1300 131 884 or email <a href="mailto:sales@astris-pme.com.au">sales@astris-pme.com.au</a>.

Initially destined for the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics as an Australian champion skier, her life took an unexpected turn when she became the victim of a devastating accident during a training bike ride, resulting in severe, life-threatening injuries. Despite enduring almost six gruelling months in the hospital and facing the daunting task of rehabilitation with permanent disabilities, Janine didn't merely learn to walk again—she defied the odds and learned to soar.Embarking on flight training while still in a plaster body cast, Janine ultimately achieved her commercial pilot rating and even became an instructor in aerobatics. Despite being told that motherhood might be out of reach for her, she now proudly embraces the role of a mother to three children.Janine Shepherd is not only an internationally renowned speaker but also the author of six best-selling books. Her TED talk, "A Broken Body Isn't a Broken Person," has resonated with millions around the globe. She has been featured on esteemed programs such as Australian "60 Minutes" and "This is Your Life," and has received her country's highest honour, The Order of Australia. Recognised as an 'Architect of Change' by Maria Shriver and named one of the 'Ten Outstanding Young People of the World,' Janine is also an ambassador for Spinal Cure Australia and Red Bull's Wings for Life initiative. Her incredible life story has been adapted into a movie, titled after her first book, "Never Tell Me Never."Today, Janine Shepherd travels the world, spreading her message of resilience and transformation, inspiring countless individuals along the way.<figure class="wp-block-image alignleft is-resized"><a href="https://web.cvent.com/event/3e15124b-9ec5-4c91-97b3-71fae0faffaf/summary"><img src="https://4030603.app.netsuite.com/core/media/media.nl?id=23182480&amp;c=4030603&amp;h=5wSl_d9VMMkNerDZeG8Cv4huGoczXk4LIyWeHyRbSTIASItr" alt="" width="168" height="36"/></a></figure> Workshops and PresentationsJoin us on this day to hear from a fantastic lineup of leading presenters who will boost your confidence in providing the best solutions for our clients.The complete event schedule will be published soon.

Imagine being able to keep up with your friends and family!However, given the high costs of powered mobility options and the expectation that it will meet your needs for a few years, it is really important to get it right.The experienced team at Astris PME have been working with families and therapists for many years and have put together a list of 8 essential tips to help you make the right choice:1. Seek expert advice from your therapist and an Assistive Technology Professional (ATP). Trial the equipment before making a decision.2. Consider your environment, ensuring the PWC functions well at school, home, and various activities while remaining compact enough for easy access.3. Consider your clinical needs by working closely with your therapist to ensure the equipment accommodates both current and future requirements. If uncertain about future needs, consider a hire option temporarily.4. Align your PWC choice with your goals, including school, family, and personal activities.5. Consider your seating system, ensuring comfort, support, and adaptability as you grow.6. Evaluate post-sale support, including warranty, programmed maintenance packages, and after-sale support (including breakdowns) to keep your PWC in optimal condition. This is extremely important for you and your family so you can stay mobile.7. Consider a Manual Wheelchair (MWC) with Power Add-On. Before you jump in and purchase a PWC, consider if a manual chair with a removable power assist or power-add on would better suit your needs. It is recommended families also discuss this option with your therapist and ATP.8.

With many options available though, how do you choose the best option for you? By collaborating with you, your therapist, and our seasoned product specialists, we can form a great team to come up with the most suitable solution for your specific requirements. Some factors that need to be considered prior to settling on your preferred power assist unit:• Your needs and physical capacity.• Environments you would like to access.• Activities you typically participate in.• Other resources available to you; for example, assistance in transferring the wheelchair and power assist to and from a vehicle.Managing a power assist option on your wheelchair also requires skills relating to memory, perceptual abilities and cognitive skills. Goals for providing a device can be diverse and highly individual so it would be beneficial to have a discussion with your therapist about whether a power assist option would be suitable, and to help guide the process of trialling the appropriate option.There are numerous benefits to using power assist devices, including:• Reducing stress and strain on the upper limbs – shoulders and wrists.• Reducing demands on the heart and respiratory functions.• Making participation and access easier every day.• Permitting access to challenging environments.• Facilitating improved capacity to manage your workday to remain employed.• Enabling storage into a standard car boot without the need to invest in the purchase of larger vehicles and additional costs associated with vehicle modifications.• Reducing the need for home modifications to accommodate larger power chairs.View our comprehensive range of Power Assists <a href="https://astris-pme.com.au/categories/power-add-ons">here</a>Make an appointment with one of our Specialist Consultants to find out which power assist option is right for you.

Power Assist – Helping You Make The Choice (Adults)

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://api.apexmobility.com.au/storage/upload/2024-11-22/image/1732245676_Artboard%204%209.jpg" alt="" width="1003" height="544"/></figure>Power Wheelchairs can open up a world of possibilities for anyone who experiences difficulty with mobilising and seated positioning. However, the effectiveness of the powerchair to achieve your goals is dependent on your choices.Your unique solution will be influenced by:• Clinical Factors – Your therapist will Identify your needs, both non-negotiable (such as pressure relief, postural control, and drive access) and what can be compromised (additional features such as standing function, multiple transport options, or all-terrain access).• Lifestyle Factors – What does every day look like and where do you need to go?• Personal Choice – what is a “need to have” Vs “nice to have”?1. The Seating: With your therapist, decide what level of seating support is required to meet your postural and pressure needs.2. Power Seating Functions: The options are tilt, recline, seat elevate, foot elevate, and standing, with combinations selected based on your therapists’ assessment of your needs.3. Access: Be clear about how you are going to control the chair as this influences your choice of power base.4. The Power Base and Drive wheel position: All power wheelchair bases have their pros and cons, and you will also need to consider the motor capabilities of each model to make the best choice. It comes down to, “What do you need the chair to do? What goals are you trying to achieve?”. Remembering that a compromise is likely to be needed, so understanding what is most important to you should remain front of mind. The options include Rear Wheel Drive, Front Wheel Drive, Mid Wheel Drive and All Terrain.5. Suspension: How the suspension of the chair is achieved on the base, and how it interacts with your choice of seating, is different for every chair. Check the ride quality over the surfaces you are going to be accessing. The choice of tyre will also determine how the chair handles and where it can go.6. Set Up: Now that you’ve made all the choices on the script for a powerchair and seating it should all just come together, right? In fact, this is where the skills of an experienced therapist and your AT specialist really come to the fore.View our comprehensive range of Power Wheelchairs <a href="https://astris-pme.com.au/categories/power-wheelchairs">here</a>If you are looking for any support in this area or keen to know more, reach out to us at <a href="mailto:clients@astris-pme.com.au">clients@astris-pme.com.au</a> or 1300 131 884.
