Wheelchair Assessment by Experts

For people who require mobility assistive equipment - such as wheelchairs, walkers, or artificial limbs - the right assistaive device can make all the difference in the world. Our Wheelchair Assessment Service is led by physical therapists who are certified Assistive Technology Professionals, and supported by suppliers of complex rehab technology who assist in advanced equipment selection. They work with clients to identify goals, physical capabilities and challenges, and environments where the equipment must function.

Other services include computerized pressure mapping assessments, standing frame evaluations, and custom seat cushion and back support shape capture. Proper evaluation can reduce costs, improve mobility and quality of life, and - equally important - prevent complications that result from ill-fitting equipment.

Gaylord sets aside 90 minutes to complete the initial wheelchair assessment, which is broken down into four parts: the interview, mat assessment, equipment simulation, and equipment specification.
