Yes! A wheelchair that isn’t designed for your body can cause harm. Everyone is different, and a one-size-fits-all wheelchair might lead to serious problems, such as:

Pain and discomfort

-Increased dependence if the chair is too challenging to use

-Pressure sores (also called decubitus ulcers) from poor cushioning

-A chair that doesn’t adjust as a child grows, making it useless too soon

-High costs, since most insurance only pays for a new wheelchair every five years

-To avoid these issues, it’s essential to get a wheelchair that fits your needs properly.

Complex power wheelchairs are the most advanced and are designed for people with severe physical disabilities. They provide the most stability and support, and typically have a combination of power and manual operation options. Power options include Tilt, Recline, seat elevators, leg rests, platforms, and more. 

Complex power wheelchairs are for people who have serious illnesses like ALS, a spinal cord injury that causes paralysis of all four limbs, a stroke that affects one side of the body, late-stage Parkinson's, late-stage MS, cerebral palsy, or Muscular Dystrophy.
