I was not sure where to put this so am putting it in the general treatment section. I am looking for referrals for a motorized wheelchair (in the United States) and at this point I want to learn about different brands and features that would be best for me before worrying about cost and insurance issues.
I want something that I can use inside the home from room to room so no one has to push me in my regular wheelchair so it needs to be small and flexible enough to go through a doorway. But I also need it to be lightweight and foldable so it can go in the trunk of a car. I no longer drive but something that my husband or a family member/friends could fold and assemble without it being too heavy.
I also need something where my arms are basically at my sides (versus held out in front of me like you would on a bike or scooter.) I cannot hold my arms up that way due to autonomic reasons and prior injury to right arm.
Thank you in advance for any info!
