Finding the Right Wheelchair for You
Which Wheelchair is ideal for you?
When it comes to finding a wheelchair and seating system for you – it must be individualised to meet your positioning, posture, and functional goals. The wheelchair needs to be the most comfortable chair you have ever sat in and enable you to do more tasks than you currently can.
For this reason, Neuro Junction can assist our clients through the process of a wheelchair & functional assessment, trials, and prescription. There are a range of factors that need to be considered and discussed with your therapist when looking for a seating system:
Goals and expectations: we want to have a clear understanding as to what you would like to be able to do in your wheelchair.
Living and work environment: we want to ensure that you find a wheelchair that suits your home, school, workplace, local community, and any sports or leisure activities.
Social factors: we would like to make certain that anyone who provides assistance (such as family members or support carers) are able to assist with the use of the wheelchair, if required.
Transportation options: whether it’s using a private vehicle or public transport, we aim for you to enjoy an easy and smooth transportation to any desired destination.
Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists at Neuro Junction can provide seating assessments and prescription information to meet the needs of our clients’ function, comfort, posture, and pressure care. To ensure the seating system is right for you, Neuro Junction liaise with equipment providers and assist with equipment trials. Also, we provide follow-up reviews and upgrading of equipment as required.
