A Primer on Motorized Wheelchairs
In years past, being dependent on a Motorized Wheel Chair gave a person two options; keep sufficient upper body strength to move yourself, or employ another person to move you around every day. Naturally, not every wheelchair bound person has a fit and functioning upper body. Very few people have the resources to employ a full-time attendant, and it is even less common to have a spouse or other relative with the time and devotion required to be an assistant. Happily, these days we are able to own motorized wheelchairs which allow us to preserve our independence without presuming on another person.
