Decision: A Power? or Manual Wheelchair?
Often times the decision of ordering a power or a manual
wheelchair is a difficult one. A power wheelchair can offer greater
mobility allowing a higher level of activity. However, the benefits of
physical activity and transportability of a manual wheelchair are
invaluable. Since funding the cost of two wheelchairs and two complete
seating systems can be steep, sources will very often pay for only one
wheeled device. The decision can be life changing considering they will
be paying for a wheelchair once every three or four years, this becomes a
major decision.
