There are numerous reasons for needing a scooter, including decreased mobility due to a spinal cord injury and various neurological diseases might impair one's ability to walk. There are many choices for individuals who need help getting around. Scooters for the disabled are the perfect option when mobility becomes an issue, and are perfect for use in the home or out in the community.

What to Consider when Purchasing a Handicapped Scooter

If mobility is becoming limited, a physician should be consulted. Most physicians will write a prescription for a disability scooter and refer the patient to a specialist. A prescription is required when filing for insurance, whether private or Medicare. Rehabilitation centers have technicians who specialize in motorized equipment and are familiar with home medical equipment businesses. Often the two work together to provide the patient and family with the widest range of information.

The equipment specialist will do a fitting with the patient to measure height, weight, arm length and other important measurements used to custom fit the disability scooter. They should also ask the patient questions about daily habits, and expected use of the equipment. Options such as a taller back, full body support and type of speed control will be taken into account.
