What is a power wheelchair?

Power wheelchairs, often referred to as power chairs, are an ideal solution for full-time mobility assistance and the ability to easily maneuver inside and outside the home. With a power wheelchair, you can get closer to tables, counters, and other surfaces to perform tasks independently. Power wheelchairs are prescribed by physicians for those who need daily mobility assistance and can also be rented or purchased by anyone who would benefit from increased freedom and mobility.
