The electronic mobility scooters provides a number of important advantages to people with mobility problems throughout the world. They are useful for persons without the stamina or arm/shoulder flexibility which is necessary for use in a manual wheel chair, they make swiveling the seat generally easier than moving the foot supports on most conventional wheelchairs.
They are also very helpful for people with systemic or whole body disabling conditions coronary or lung issues, some forms of arthritis and obesity in that they help you to stand and walk a few steps, sit upright without torso support by just controlling the steering tiller.
Also mobility scooters for many users are not seen as wheel chairs, disability still being seen by many as a negative or somehow shameful they are generally more affordable than powered wheelchairs, leading to them being procured as a cheaper alternative.
Some of the disadvantages of electronic mobility scooters include the fact that they still can’t eliminate much of the manual strength problems of an unpowered wheelchair since its tiller steering mechanism still requires upright posture, shoulder and hand strength, and some upper-body mobility and strength.
Another disadvantage is that they are longer in length, and this limits their turning radius and ability to use some lifts or wheelchair-designed access technologies such as kneeling bus lifts.
As a mobility scooter has a low ground clearance, it can also make it difficult to navigate certain obstacles, such as traveling in cities without proper curb cuts.
Electric mobility scooters have fewer options for body support, such as head or leg rests and they are rarely designed for ease of patient transfer from seat to bed.
These limitations may prevent some disabled individuals from using scooters. If you have particular needs be sure to try out different models as some will be better than others for your particular disability and range of movement.
