What You Should Know About Electric Wheelchairs
When you are shopping for an electric wheelchair, there are some important factors to remember:
- Speed: Consider how fast you need to go. Power wheelchairs usually can travel at 4-6 miles per hour. Note that rear-wheel-drive motorized wheelchairs are easier to maneuver at high speeds.
- Free wheel: Some power wheelchairs have this. When it is in freewheel mode, it releases the wheels so it can be pushed manually. This is useful if your wheelchair runs out of battery power.
- Desk and table clearance: Choose a transport wheelchair that allows you to fit under a table or desk. Be certain the armrests and controls can fit under a table or desk, too.
- Difference between a power wheelchair and mobility scooter: Power wheelchairs are more for indoor use, while mobility scooters are made more for the outdoors. A mobility scooter often is controlled by a tiller and an electric wheelchair is controlled by a joystick.
- How to quality for Medicare coverage: Your doctor must conduct a mobility evaluation and give you a prescription. The wheelchair has to be medically necessary so you can complete activities of daily living at home. The doctor also must certify you cannot do these things with a walker, cane, manual wheelchair or mobility scooter. Wishing Well Medical Supply can help answer your questions about getting your wheelchair covered by Medicare.
- What are the different types of wheels on electric wheelchairs? Power wheelchairs have either pneumatic tires that are full of air and generally have a gentler ride. They also have more traction and stability. Pneumatic wheels must be inflated when they go flat and they can be punctured. Foam-filled wheels cannot be punctured but the ride is not as smooth as the other type of tire.
