Power Chair vs. Manual Wheelchair?
From Don Ryan, RN, CCM, CLCP
Wheelchair users are often faced with the choice to purchase a power wheelchair or a manual wheelchair.
Why Power?
- Greater Independence and confidence - A second person is not needed to push
- Ability to traverse a variety of surfaces - like beaches, wooded areas and inclines
- Self operated manual wheelchair users can become fatigued
- Studies indicate people with power chairs are more social
- Advances in battery technology include lighter weights and longer life
A power chair should strongly be considered when assessing mobility options. Ask your Health Care Professional for a Power Wheelchair readiness assesment. Then let Adaptive Specialties help you find the RIGHT model for you. One model we recommend is the Sunfire EC Power Wheelchair by Drive Medical .
