ONLINE EDUCATION HAS LONG BEEN A BOON TO SEATING and wheeled mobility professionals, who can find in-person learning difficult to fit into schedules packed with clinic hours. But in a COVID-19 pandemic that has introduced social distancing and travel restrictions, being able to learn online is even more crucial.

Power Wheelchair
Drive Wheel Position
When choosing a power wheelchair,
one of the most important factors to consider is drive wheel position, as it will impact the chair’s performance over obstacles, on hills, at higher speed and on uneven terrain. It will also affect access at home, during transportation and all the places that our clients
want to go: school, workplace and community. Written by Sunrise Medical’s Clinical Team, the “Power Wheelchair Drive Wheel Position”
guide provides easy-to-understand considerations and implications for
each of the four drive-wheel positions: mid-wheel, front-wheel, rear-wheel, and hybrid-wheel. This guide compares the differences in turning radiuses, ease of turning, handling obstacles, traction, control at higher speeds, and ease of attendant drive.
