reply to Jeannie regarding wheelchair

[Guest guest]

You'll get lots of good advice from the members of this group, but really,

you should be evaluated by a professional (physical therapist, physiatrist,

or technician at the facility where they are sold) to determine what kind is

best for you and what special adaptations might be necessary to meet your

needs. There are many variables--size, weight, elevating foot rests, comfort

cushions, etc.

You also need to have a prescription from your doctor to get insurance

payment for it.

Question re:Wheelchairs

> HI Group,

> We are thinking of getting a wheelchair . Started looking on

internet, but the more we look the more confusing it gets. Which ones would

you guys reccomend for a beginner at this? I hate getting something and not

liking it. Name & model # if you have any suggestions. Thanks in

advance...Jeannie/N.J.
