Efrat Shenhod is an Occupational Therapists working for more than 20 years as a specialist in wheelchairs and seating adaptation, over the years Efrat saw that regardless of the treatments or the equipment that she gave to these children and adult their condition keeps to deteriorating they suffer from hip dislocation, scoliosis and other orthopedic conditions, most of these children and adults undergo extensive and highly expensive orthopedic and neurologic procedures.
