Wheelchairs for Freedom and Independence
If you require assistance to get around, you’ve got a wealth of well-designed mobility aids to choose from. For some people, a wheelchair is a right solution. Your mobility device will be your tool to get around, your ticket to independence, and your daily companion. You deserve something functional, comfortable, and that fits your needs. This important decision deserves careful consideration. Talk to your doctor, as well as your physical therapist and occupational therapist, for their input on the best wheelchair or power chair for your needs.
Here’s an introduction to the two main categories of wheelchairs: Manual wheelchairs and power chairs. We hope you find it useful in your research. Our team has plenty of experience helping people evaluate their options and make this important decision, so please reach out to us at PM Medical Products in Wilkes-Barre, where we also serve our neighbors in Scranton and Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Manual Wheelchairs
Some users may have an attendant who will be in charge of pushing the wheelchair. Otherwise, if you have plenty of upper body strength and cardiovascular fitness, you may prefer a manual wheelchair. They provide an excellent workout. It’s important to consider that you may occasionally confront rugged or uneven terrain, which may challenge your ability to propel or navigate in a manual wheelchair.
Power Wheelchairs
A power chair doesn’t depend on the operator’s physical fitness and strength, so it’s suitable for those who couldn’t self-power a manual model. These machines are fast, convenient, and maneuverable. Many of them today look more like office chairs on steroids rather than like a wheelchair. Power chairs need regular recharging, and people who want to take them in the car may need to upgrade to a minivan or SUV.
