Arrange an Assessment and Demonstration
Before deciding on any particular wheelchair model it's crucial to have a thorough assessment and test-drive, supported by an experienced assessor who can provide impartial advice on the best product for your needs.
This assessment involves evaluating your goals and needs, and looking at your range of motion strength, balance and positioning requirements. We then identify the kind of support you'll need to accommodate any postural asymmetries or needs when seated and standing. This helps us identify prospective models for you to try. Our partnership with Quickie and other leading brands in the industry means we offer the most comprehensive range of active manual wheelchairs on the market, so you can be assured you will be seeing the best possible options for your needs.
Visit our Chessington showroom assessment facilities, where you can explore the models in privacy, with one of our assessors on hand. Please call to book an appointment or schedule your visit directly here.
Alternatively, we are more than happy to come to you for an assessment which allows you to experience and evaluate wheelchairs with an assessor, in the environment where they'll be used most frequently. Call now to book your assessment and demonstration.
