Mobility Scooters for Seniors |
|
By Ivan A Cuxeva
As a person gets older and gets afflicted with debilitating diseases, getting around the house becomes more and more difficult. If an elderly person is used to moving around a lot during his younger days, he will find that walking or driving becomes an arduous task when advance age sets ins. Mobility becomes limited as we grow old, what used to be an easy chore becomes hard as we age.
As a person ages, certain disabilities or chronic medical conditions will affect the once active lifestyle.

Electric Disability Scooters |
|
By David V. Williams
If you are physically disabled and you need a way to get around, there are several options you might consider. The most popular are power wheelchairs and electric disability scooters.
Power Wheelchair or Scooter - Which is a Better Choice?
While both products provide the user with increased mobility and comfort, they are not the same.
To begin with, power wheelchairs can be difficult to transport. They are not foldable and they will often require a large, commodious vehicle to move them from place to place. Also, they are much bigger and wider than the average scooter, which means they may not be able to take you everywhere you want to go.

Users Buyer’s Guide - Selecting Your Scooter |
|
As they are considered medical devices, scooters are manufactured to meet or exceed the standards of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Good Manufacturing Practices (FDA-GMP). In addition, in 1982, the ANSI/RESNA Wheelchair (also addresses scooters) Standards Committee was formed to develop standard procedures for testing and comparing scooters and wheelchairs. The combination of these assures that scooters must be built to meet rigorous quality requirements, and that their performance claims should be readily compared. It is very important that you know all you can about scooters. Be sure to understand both the fundamental strengths and weaknesses of scooters, and the validity of the information source. Professional sales people are able to answer the majority of your questions. You should also talk with the Service Personnel, as they have intimate knowledge about the reliability and durability of scooters. |
