Power or electric wheelchairs are good choices for people who are primarily alone, with no one to help push a manual wheelchair and also for people who lack arm strength to propel a manual wheelchair themselves. Electric wheelchairs:
- Are powered by a battery
- Require less physical exertion
- Easily go uphill
- Can be managed without extra assistance
Be sure to compare prices and shop with reputable dealers only. Ask your doctor for suggestions on what you will need. Check with your insurance, too -- they may cover some portion of the purchase. Check into these Top Electric Wheelchairs.
