Become More Mobile in Your Wheelchair
Your wheelchair must be mobile enough to make it easy for you to shop, work, or play sports.
Listed below are some of the products which are on the market to help keep you mobile.
In order for a wheelchair to be considered mobile, it needs to do more for you than just getting your around.
When you're in grocery stores and shopping malls you'll find power scooters that will help you get through stores with ease.
That's what you want your own wheelchair to do for you.
One device you might want to check out which will make your manual wheelchair easier to push is a PowerStroll power pack.
By attaching this device to your chair, you'll be adding extra power that will kick in and give the person pushing you extra oomph to get up steep hills, ramps, and over uneven terrain.
The Powerstroll is portable and easy to attach and detach, so you can transfer it to another wheelchair if necessary.
It's designed to travel 4-6 mph, and it will go 10 miles between battery charges.
The unit comes with a 12-month warranty, so you'll be able to return it if it doesn't work correctly.
If you'd like to try a power wheelchair which will provide you with the mobility you want, you should check out the Vienna.
You'll be able to turn tight corners and fit comfortably into small spaces.
The chair is quite lightweight, and it is constructed of high-quality materials.
You can remove the seat and battery pack, and the footrest folds up so that you'll be able to store it easily.
Sena makes wheelchairs that are designed for both mobility and comfort.
A Sena chair provides extra cushioning for your back and neck as well as adjustable arms which can be changed in height or width so that they are most comfortable for you.
The wheels are puncture-resistant so that you won't have to worry about sharp objects in your path.
You'll also like the fitted lap belt when you're moving faster in this chair, because it will keep you feeling safe and secure.
Talk to your doctor or physical therapist who will both be able to give you more information on products that will give you more mobility.
They'll be able to evaluate your basic needs as well as your lifestyle in order to match you up with the perfect mobility options.
