How Electric Mobile Chairs Can Benefit You

Design of Electric Mobile Chairs

All power chairs come equipped with a base and have at least four wheels. Some have two large wheels called drive wheels and two to four casters. These are smaller wheels that provide added stability. The drive wheel can be found in the front, middle, or back of the electric mobile chair. People who use the chairs operate them with a joystick.

Most electric wheelchairs have captain’s style seating and a foot platform that flips up when the chair is not in use. It’s common for this type of wheelchair to come with removable leg rests as well.

One thing that electric mobile chairs are especially known for is the ability to navigate well indoors. Some of them are specifically for home use to easily fit through narrow door frames and make tight turns. Below are descriptions of three popular power chairs available through Pride Mobility.
