Disability Scooters
Disability Scooters (or Mobility Scooters) are very similar to other scooters in terms of both design, function, and the manner of construction. They can also be considered as a type of motorized wheel chair. They are designed, in particular, to aid those persons who may have certain physical conditions which make walking difficult (at least for prolonged periods), but who have reasonably good arm strength and upper body balance. Many elderly people can also appreciate the benefits and convenience of a disability scooter (sometimes referred to as Senior Scooters in this context) since the ability to cope with walking longer distances and dealing with slopes generally diminishes with age.
The steering column, which is positioned at the front (in a central location), is generally referred to as the tiller. The tiller controls forward, reverse, and speed with either finger controls or a thumb paddle or switch. Front and rear wheel drive models are available. Generally, front wheel drive models are more suited to persons up to about 250 lb, are usually smaller, and better suited to indoor use. Rear wheel drive models will accommodate greater weights and may be used both indoors and outdoors.
Most mobility scooters have an automatic braking system. The operator must use the finger, thumb or switch style controls to be in command of all movement at all times. The controls require gentle movement to increase and decrease speed. Most scooters have a control which will allow the user to set the maximum speed for that scooter. A mobility scooter is not difficult to operate provided the user has sufficient upper body strength. They can also usually be disassembled into parts relatively easily making them easy to pack into the trunk of your car.
Any person with a systemic or disabling body condition but who is still able to stand upright and walk a few steps and sit in an upright position (without torso support) will benefit from the assistance and sense of independence which a disability scooter provides.
A mobility scooter can be of great benefit to anyone who suffers from arthritis or circulation problems as well as other medical complaints. Mobility scooters are very easy to use, and shouldn’t be daunting.
