Mobility Scooters -
Mobility scooters allow user independence and freedom to move about the house or into the community. Medicare currently does not approve a power scooter unless it is required inside your own home. As a mobility device a scooter does have some drawbacks over a conventional power wheelchair. Their length limits turning radius and can make moving around problematic where space is limited. Some degree of upper body strength and dexterity is also required.
It can also be a convenient and more accessible option allowing the user to pivot the seat and exit the chair avoiding the foot supports typical on a power chair. Mobility Scooters are becoming an acceptable option to individuals who need mobility assistance but are not necessarily restricted to the device. As an increasing number of seniors opt for a scooter its reputation is becoming one of an optional mobility device and not necessarily a substitute for a wheelchair.
