How do you choose the right powered wheelchair?
The right powered wheelchair for you will depend on your everyday needs. If you regularly travel by car, a transportable chair could be worth exploring.
If you use your wheelchair throughout the day, you might prefer a model with a longer range or more seating support. Here are some things to think about:
- Comfort: Does the seat give you the support you need?
- Range: How far do you usually travel between charges?
- Storage: Will the wheelchair fit in your home or car?
- Controls: Are they comfortable for you to use?
- Size: Will the chair fit through your doorways and around your home?
Remember, the distance you can travel on one charge can vary depending on the weather, ground conditions, battery and user weight.
Your Motability Scheme dealer can bring products to your home for a demonstration. This gives you the chance to try them and see what works best for you before deciding.
