Oh Glenn, but you are so right. How many really know that much about their chair beyond the ON/OFF button and Joystick. This would apply to both a rehab chair and a complex rehab chair But the very same could be said about those who own cars too. It must be that thing we call human nature.

For me in the best will chair would be one that fits. I also like the idea of a having the same kind of wheelchair that I had had in the past. I get very familiar with the workings of the chair and keep the old chair in working condition as a backup. I have used Invacare storms since 1995, now on my third, and have a store of parts that are interchangeable. Luckily, I am mechanically inclined and if something is acting up I usually know where to look. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work on a wheelchair, to someone with a mechanical ability and a willingness to help. There are several parts, fuses, motor brushes among other things that I had taped to the inside of the cover of the battery box. If I am away somewhere in my chair breaks at least I am that far ahead. Glenn Henry
