Wheelchair accessories:
Over time, wheelchair accessories have carved a niche for themselves in the market. You can upgrade your existing wheelchair, replace damaged parts, enhance both comfort, and function with modern wheelchair accessories. These are widely available online where you can also avail advice on fitting accessories to your wheelchairs.
Wheelchair availability:
You can buy a new wheelchair at affordable prices online or though nearest retailers. In case you are unable to move out of the house, most wheelchair websites list out wheelchair models along with pictures, prices, accessories and other details. All you need to do is pay online and have it delivered at your doorstep. Second hand wheelchairs are also an affordable option. For temporary disabilities, renting a suitable wheelchair is a better option.
Wheelchair safety:
Make sure you use safety belts and other safety accessories
Don't stretch the wheelchair's capabilities
Use wheelchairs appropriately. For example, Wheelchairs designed for indoor use may result in serious injury to both user and machine when used outdoors.
Insuring your wheelchair:
To avail insurance on your wheelchair, your physician is required to give a Certificate of Medical Necessity (CMN) to be filed with the claim.
Wheelchair search:
Looking for good wheelchair options? Simply search for wheelchairs on any search engine on the Internet. Providers from all over the world will be waiting to serve you.
A disability need not be a devastating or confining. Live a free life - Get moving in your wheelchair!
