Powered For Mobility

It is not only ordinary people but celebrities as well who suffer from disabilities. Whether from an accident or illness this condition can occur to anyone. Medical technology has progressed to such an extent that people with disabilities can now lead a normal life. For instance paraplegics who have also lost partial use of their voice and complete use of their limbs can use a wheelchair that is attached with a voice synthesizer which is able to steer a wheelchair.

Motorized wheelchairs run on a motor powered by a battery. Invacare, Pride Mobility, and Bromakin are some of the brands available on the market. A popular model is the Jazzy 600 power wheelchair. The Jazzy’s mid-wheel drive technology prevents hang-ups allowing navigation rough terrain or move in reverse.

The new Jazzy model ensures that a disabled person is able to comfortably maneuver the wheelchair outdoors as easily as they can indoors. The technology used in this wheelchair also allows the user to move about in small cramped spaces easily. With a tight turning radius and smooth navigation this is an ideal model for those living in apartments.

The versatility of this motorized wheelchair will help the user to live a normal life for sure. Being handicapped should not mean a life of misery and restricted movements for the disabled.
