Power Wheelchairs

A Power Wheelchair provides a means of independent mobility when operating a manual wheelchair is not an option. When choosing a power wheelchair it is important to consider what type of chair will meet your needs for the long term, including where the power chair would be used; whether it would be primarily indoors where manoeuvrability is a concern or outdoors where power and battery life should be considered. For more information on the types of Power Wheelchairs HealthLinc offers and the options available, please call one of our mobility specialists directly at (604) 821-0075, or click here..

Mid-Wheel Drive

A recent innovation in Power Mobility is the development of Mid-Wheel Drive wheelchairs. These chairs are best suited for settings where manoeuvrability is a primary concern. Mid wheel drive wheelchairs can “turn on a dime”, meaning one can turn the chair even in confined spaces or around tight corners. This is beneficial when operating the chair indoors.

Rear-Wheel Drive

Rear Wheel Drive power wheelchairs are best suited for outdoor use and for those operating the chair in a variety of environments. Powerful yet compact and easy to manoeuvre, Rear Wheel Drive chairs are available with a number of options to suit a wide range of needs
