Powered Mobility Equipment Scooters and Wheelchairs
A mobility
scooter is a mobility aid equivalent to a wheelchair but
configured like a motorscooter, oftenly referred to as a power-operated vehicle/scooter or electric scooter as well.
A mobility
scooter has a seat over three, four or
now five wheels, and controlled
by a handlebars. Mobility scooters provide important advantages to people with
mobility problems throughout the world. A scooter
is useful for persons without the stamina or arm/shoulder flexibility
necessary to use a manual wheelchair.
A mobility scooter is very helpful
for persons with systemic or whole-body
disabling conditions who are still able to stand and walk a few steps, sit
upright without torso support, and control the steering tiller.
A major selling point of mobility scooters for many users is
that they do not look like a wheelchair, disability still being
seen by many as a negative or somehow shameful. Mobility scooters are in general more affordable than powered wheelchairs, leading to them
being procured as a cheaper alternative.
