Active wheelchairs are specifically designed for users who lead active, dynamic lifestyles, providing mobility, freedom, and performance without compromising comfort or style. A comprehensive active wheelchair assessment ensures your chair meets your specific mobility requirements and lifestyle needs.
What is an Active Wheelchair Assessment?
An active wheelchair assessment is a detailed evaluation conducted by trained specialists to ensure your wheelchair perfectly matches your physical needs, lifestyle, and personal preferences. This thorough assessment process helps identify the ideal features and customisations that support your active lifestyle.
What Does an Active Wheelchair Assessment Involve?
An active wheelchair assessment typically involves several key stages:
Initial Consultation
During this phase, a specialist discusses your lifestyle, activities, and specific mobility needs. You'll cover your daily routine, leisure activities, and any particular challenges you face.
Physical Assessment
This involves taking precise measurements and evaluating your posture, strength, range of motion, and seating requirements to ensure optimal fit, comfort, and support.
Wheelchair Trial and Customisation
You'll trial various active wheelchair models, experiencing firsthand their comfort, responsiveness, and ease of use. Adjustments and customisations such as seat width, backrest angle, wheel positioning, and frame materials are carefully considered and tested.
Review and Recommendations
Based on your assessment and trials, the specialist will recommend the most suitable active wheelchair model and customisation options, ensuring they align perfectly with your lifestyle and mobility needs.
