How suitable is your wheelchair? Discover Heliomare’s initiative ‘Wheelchair check’
Wheelchair check is a screening tool that allows wheelchair users to assess if their wheelchair is optimal. The tool is suitable for various types of wheelchairs: powered, manual, push and sport wheelchairs.
Once all questions in the tool are answered, users can download their personalized screening report. This report can then be reviewed with their wheelchair provider and occupational or physical therapist. The report provides insight into potential problems and solutions that can be used to enhance the wheelchair setup or justify the need for another wheelchair.
The tool can be found in English, German, Spanish and Dutch. Norwegian is currently being translated.
