Power Wheelchair or Manual Wheelchair?

How do you know if you need a power wheelchair or a manual wheelchair?

• If you cannot walk independently,
• your upper body strength is limited
• you are unable to push yourself in a manual wheelchair
• you don't have anyone that is able to push you

Then a power wheelchair may be a good option for you. Using a power wheelchair will allow you to live a more independent lifestyle.

A manual wheelchair may be the best choice if:

• you have good upper body strength
• you are able to safely self-propel a manual wheelchair
• you have a good range of motion
• you are able to perform weight shifts
• you are able to independently perform transfers

These are just some of the factors that need to be considered when deciding between manual and power wheelchairs.
