A client is being fitted for a custom power chair. He would like to use the wheelchair out in the community, but he fatigues rather quickly when using his access method for long distances. What feature might be most beneficial for this client so as to increase safety when out on walks with the caregiver?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An attendant control on the back of the chair would allow the caregiver to take over control of the chair if the client fatigues or becomes unable to operate the wheelchair safely. This would increase safety for both the client and caregiver while out in the community. The other options given do not address the concern of fatigue and safety during extended use of the wheelchair.
