Tapping into the collective wisdom of wheelchair enthusiasts of HN. What would you recommend for my parent, they are using a crappy Medicare approved Medline wheelchair that’s like $300 on Amazon.
They can’t use their right side of their body really due to a stroke paralysis. They can wheel around with one arm and leg.
The wheelchair is like starting to fall apart. What should I I get them that will last many years? Thanks!
- skylurk 2y agoI know nothing about wheelchairs, but have you considered one with a joystick?
- diebeforei485 2y agoThere are a lot of variables. You can ask an occupational therapist about what sort of wheelchair would be best. If it's a case where they move themselves indoors but get pushed by others outdoors, it arguably does not matter. But if they are independent outside the home, you need a custom chair suited to them.
