Michael Rogers, vice president of communications for the Small Business Association of Michigan (SBAM), talks to Becky Bennet, owner of Solus Innovations, developer of the Solus amputee self-propelled scooter. The Solus is self-propelled and designed for persons with above or below the knee amputations. It permits the user to once again “stand tall” and move about in a vertical position without the aid of a wheelchair, walker, or prosthetic. The freedom of standing and using the Solus provides “eye to eye” contact by the user, and allows a new life of independence with a mental boost for an injured body.
