In fact I was checking them out yesterday. Some pretty sharp looking little buggies. The biggest problem I have with chairs or any other medical assistance device is my size. I am quite tall and most are made for the average. I have a brand new walker in my garage that I paid almost 400.00 for. It sits there collecting dust beacuse it is not built for someone like me and if I use it I am really hunched over (kills the back).
They tell me it is one of the largest they make but for who I ask? So for now I hobble around on cains.
I sure do wish I could offer you some sort of suggetions on the leg shakes and tremors, but even my own doc kinda beat around the bush with that subject and I have never been giving relief. I may be on massive doses of morphone all the time, but it just doesn't hit that area or help. If I come across any info that might be of interest to you, I will pass it along for sure.

Mark , you may have to find someone that can customize chair /walker for you.
perhaps even place an ad in the local papers or UK craigslist?? asking for customization of those and put a pic in the ad so they will see what kind of materials they would be working with.
I wouldn't tell about your condition or anything - just say you are looking for someone to customize for size these items and post the pictures of them.
I'm thinking a good handyman, metal worker, school shop class project???
Or is anyone in your neighborhood good at fix all things??
Of course you would probably want to make up a paper or something stating the terms & fee - I watch too many judge shows LOL.
a school might do it for the experience...
the company I used to work for made a special hydraulic wheelchair chair for a little person that was having mobility issues, he had worked there along time- they even had the company engineers design it.
So it is do able you just need to find the right people.
