Matia Mobility is reimagining mobility for people with walking disabilities. The all new Tek RMD M1 is a revolutionary mobility platform that makes it possible to independently and safely sit, stand and navigate environments that were once inaccessible, indoor and outdoor, and all at eye level.
With the industry’s smallest footprint, users can now go places and reach items otherwise unavailable in a standard wheelchair, whether at home or at work. The M1 fits in small spaces, minimizing renovation requirements and often decreasing overall living costs for someone with a walking disability.
Now approved for purchase by the VA, and also now available with multiple financing options from our website, the M1 is now more affordable than ever.
Tek RMD M1 is a patented, CE Marked and FDA 510(k) cleared technology.

The Health Benefits of Standing
Our bodies are meant to stand. Standing at least five times a week improves bone density1, circulation2, bladder and bowel function2, and alleviate pressure points.3 Standing also improves your self esteem and physiological well being4 as well as reduces mortality.5,6
Existing standing frames can be large and limit a user’s ability to navigate indoor environments, often require caregiver assistance, and rarely allow for convenient navigation. The Tek RMD M1 holds the user in an upright position while leaving their hands and arms free. This allows more freedom and independence to perform daily tasks, while improving health and overall well-being.

Specifications
Since our team first came together in 2006, our goal has always been to develop technology that will help people – specifically people with walking disabilities. We designed the Tek RMD M1 to add more freedom to the lives of individuals with walking disabilities, allowing them to live in places not designed for them, and to move more independently in the world.
After years of development, planning, and testing, the Tek RMD M1 is our first product to hit the market. We debuted the Tek RMD M1 in 2015, and with the buzz we received from around the world, we decided to offer it globally. Our goal remains to improve the health, wellness, and sense of independence for as many people as we can reach.

You have the ability to engage with someone of your same age group or peers and be eye to eye. You just can’t replace the element of being on a personal level with somebody. The amount of mental stability it creates for you is greater than having a simple conversation from a wheelchair to a standing person.
