I absolutely need power tilt and lift, and I will likely be getting elevating leg rests and recline. I do fit in the weight bracket for the pediatric chairs Permobil makes, but they have more limited power functions. Anyone had this experience?Īlso, has anyone had the experience of making a chair for adults actually handle the weight of a smaller person? Switching out the springs of the suspension, maybe? I have heard front wheel drive chairs are better than mid wheel drive when it comes to dealing with bumps and vibrations. I am now at the point I can no longer avoid using a powerchair, so I need one that is actually designed for people like me. The chair actually ended up hurting me more, so I ended up not using it much. Also, the small front casters did not help. We had to drill extra holes to even make the footplate high enough. between 150-200lbs) and someone much taller. It is really designed for an average-sized adult (i.e. Part of the problem with my Quantum is that I weighed too little for the suspension on the chair. My biggest thing is I need the smoothest ride possible.
I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and fibro as well as a whole host of associated conditions. I have an Quantum 600 that I ended up barely using, since it actually caused me *more* pain. So I am getting a new powerchair, and hopefully this one will actually fit me.
