Mobility is about more than just moving from one place to another—it’s the foundation of independence, self-expression, and participation in life. For children, it’s essential for exploring their environment, engaging with peers, and achieving developmental milestones. Without the right supports, barriers to mobility can hinder these vital experiences, impacting their physical, social, and emotional growth.

Choosing a Power Wheelchair (PWC) can be an exciting process, one that means independent mobility for possibly the first time. Imagine being able to keep up with your friends and family!

Enhancing your lifestyle each day at work, home and everywhere in between would be a little easier if your manual wheelchair could have the occasional power boost. Now you can, with the addition of a power assist device to your existing or new fixed or folding frame wheelchair. Experience the benefits of reducing your energy expenditure and overall frequency of upper limb movements during manual propulsion.

Power Wheelchairs can open up a world of possibilities for anyone who experiences difficulty with mobilising and seated positioning. However, the effectiveness of the powerchair to achieve your goals is dependent on your choices.
