Ron,
What should I expect from the OT, PT and rep from vender? What should
happen during the first visit?
It's been 11 years since I went though this and I wasn't in as much pain as I
am now. Also I have a chronic sore on my right ishium (sp) The chair I have now
dose not tilt back very far, I'd like the new chair to tilt back much further.
I have a list of 18 specifications.
I would LOVE to get a power head rest that I positively know that the
Quantum Edge 500 has but I don't know what the qualifications to justify a
power head rest or how would determine that. Bobbie
