Wheelchairs and mobility aids help patients with mobility. Wheelchairs may be either manually pushed by the patient, an aide, or with the help of electrical motor. Electric wheelchairs and scooters are recommended for patients with significant mobility/balance impairment.
All wheelchairs are measured and fitted to the individual client’s needs. A wheelchair, like a car, has to be purchased by a person with a specific need for a specific purpose. At Orthotics & Prosthetics Associates we strive to meet your needs. We understand the possibilities of our products and match them to your personal needs. With that in mind, we recommend buying a wheelchair from a specialist like Orthotics & Prosthetics Associates so that you can receive in-house servicing and the option of reimbursing costs through your medical aid.
