Maintain Your Independence With a Power Wheelchair

Power wheelchairs enable people with mobility limitations to benefit from a self-propelled way to get around. Many people depend on them, including people with balance, health, or fatigue issues who can walk on their own, as well as people who have severe mobility impairments but are sufficiently dexterous and independent to operate the controls of a power wheelchair. These life-changing devices allow users an independent and active lifestyle that would be otherwise impossible.

The variety of models and features is huge, so you should study your options carefully in consultation with your physician, occupational therapist, and/or assistive technology specialist. You also have a partner in us at The Healthcare Store, where our team is highly trained and very experienced with mobility devices, and we’re dedicated to helping enjoy the active lifestyle you deserve. We’re in Bay Shore, New York, and serve customers throughout Suffolk County.

Types of Power Wheelchairs

Power mobility wheelchairs come in a few different varieties. Here’s a brief breakdown of your options.

  • Standard Power Chairs: These generally look like a deluxe office chair on wheels, and usually have a contoured backrest, a pair of armrests, a footrest, a headrest, and leg support. These come with many options and features, such as tilting, reclining, or rising so the user can be eye-to-eye with their companions. They seldom have push handles on the backrest. 
  • Travel Power Chairs: These have a lighter build and can be folded and/or partially disassembled. 
  • Bariatric Power Chairs: These chairs are designed for the larger user. Expect heavier capacity, wider seats, and advanced suspension systems. 
  • Standing Power Chairs: These chairs enable a variety of postures, including standing, sitting, and reclining. Allowing the user to change positions throughout the day improves user comfort and aids the circulatory, respiratory, and GI systems. These also allow users to be face-to-face with other people. 
  • Rehab Power Chairs: These are highly customizable chairs for users with a unique set of needs. Multiple positioning elements, including thigh supports, knee supports, and lateral thoracic supports can all be adjusted for the user’s individual needs and comfort.
