Hey River,
Your best bet for getting the right power chair is to try them all out first hand.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Power Chair
 
Hi all,

As some of you may know, I'm a T-4 para and have rheumatoid arthritis.
I've been in the chair (manual) for 18 yrs. and had the dx of RA for
three. My Dr. says it's time I get a power chair. Sooooooo....I need
some advice:

I have a lift that has a weight limit as it folds in half when in the
van. I think it's 300-350 limit. Maybe 400lbs.

I need to be able to go up at least 3in thresholds. I don't need much
more than that. But I of course would LOVE to have a seat that
elevates. But I don't think Medicare considers that a medical
necessity ;-)

Anyway...could I get some advice? As far as manuals I love quickie,
but know absolutely nothing about power chairs.

Help ?

TIA,
River
