BASIC POWER MOBILITY

Basic Power Mobility includes standard power wheelchairs and power scooters.  Both devices can be used indoors or outdoors, but power wheelchairs are able to navigate tighter spaces.  A power wheelchair has a joystick on one of the armrests for steering, while a power scooter uses handlebars to steer.  Either power mobility device can be transported with a vehicle lift system, although some power scooters are able to fit inside the trunk of a car.  Considerations in power mobility include availability of different colors, weight thresholds, and terrain handling capabilities.  We also have accessories available, including cushions, equipment racks, and baskets.  Landmark is able to provide all of these options, including device, automotive lift, accessories, and home modification.

For customers with a condition requiring more than standard mobility, Landmark provides in-house customized attention.  Our Complex Power Mobility Team—which includes on-staff ATP (Assistive Technology Professionals), LVN (Licensed Vocational Nurse), and equipment technician professionals—has many years of qualifying experience finding the right chair to keep our complex customers moving.

MANUAL, TRANSPORT & ULTRA-LIGHT WHEELCHAIRS

A manual wheelchair is a chair with wheels used by people with permanent or temporary mobility impairment.  A standard wheelchair has larger wheels than a travel or transport chair, and allows a person to propel if they have sufficient arm strength.  Standard manual wheelchairs are heavier than a transport chair, and notably durable.  Multiple sizes of chairs are available.  A transport wheelchair is a manually operated chair with wheels, but having smaller wheels and lighter weight than a standard wheelchair.  Since the wheels are small, the patient is unable to propel the chair with their arms, requiring aid from a caregiver to ambulate.  Transport chairs best serve patients that are unable to propel themselves.  Ultra lightweight wheelchairs are designed primarily for people with longer termed disabilities.  These chairs are much lighter than standard wheelchairs, offering customized seating and additional features.  Often the frame can be folded and stored into a small space.  Ultra lightweight wheelchairs weigh less than 30 pounds.

RECLINING & TILT-IN-SPACE WHEELCHAIRS

Reclining wheelchairs have backs that recline much like that of a car seat.  The units have a full high back and headrest support.  This feature is useful to redistribute the weight onto the back.  This chair is designed for people that sit in a wheelchair for long periods of time.  On a tilt-in-space wheelchair, the entire seating system rotates around a sliding pivot point.  The system is designed mostly for pressure relief on Patients that can’t perform their own weight shifts.  The chair redistributes the center of gravity by rotating the axis of the chair.
