If you want to move in a wheelchair without any aching arms or assistance of an attendant, then an upgrade to a power chair would be ideal. Power chairs are basically a wheelchair that has a battery operated motor. A joystick controller is present on the arm that helps in manoeuvring the chair. It can be controlled either by hand, mouth or even by a sip tube operated by the mouth. If needed, it can be adjusted to be controlled by any workable body part.

Power chairs are adaptable and can be customised to your individual requirements. These wheelchairs have a well cushioned seat and backrest. Arm rests and leg rests can be adjusted and are available in different colour options. Options such as a storage basket are also available in some power chairs.

Power chairs batteries are easy to change and come with a warranty. The newer versions are lightweight and easily folded for transport. Depending on your needs, a power chair can have various features that are helpful in mobility. While outdoors, they help in overcoming obstacles such as getting over a curb. You are always in full control of a power chair due to their tight wheel turning radius.

Along with individuals having mobility problems, these chairs are used by the elderly. Since the time spent by most power chair users is more than any other mobility device, they have a specialised seat and tend to be very comfortable. These chairs provide stability and give you independent manoeuvrability.
