- George Ajaka from GTK Rehab explains the benefits of frame styles (folding, fixed and adjustable) and materials (aluminium, titanium, carbon fibre). Setting up the chair to an individual's needs is vital to maximising comfort and mobility.

Best, and most knowledgeable video I have seen yet. Thank you
This was the best covered, easy to understand wheelchair function I've viewed. Thank you.
Excellent. I wish I had such informed people helping me.
I agree so much! My first one was a horror: „Here , sit down, yes, you can sit in, so take it, I don't "have time for you!“ that was all I got! Now I got a great helper and my chair I'll get within some days will be great, too!
thanQ for the upload and useful/timely information shared! God bless

It depends on your insurance company. A lot of insurance companies do cover them, just not Medicaid if you are over 21.
Medicaid doesn't cover much in my experience!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
what is the wheelchair model of the one with high backrest? (the one in the left)
Our customer assist team say that it looks like an Otto Bock Avantgarde chair - as they recogninsed the curve at the front. See img.medicalexpo.com/images_me/photo-mg/74842-8213980.jpg
However the high back is a clip-on postural solid back that is removable for folding the chair. There are many 3rd-party back support products that can be used on any chair so you do't have to only look for the combination shown. For example Permobil can put a TiLite package together.
+SpinalCordInjuriesAu thank you for the response its a big help
please suggest me ...are these wheelchairs available in India ...if yes please provide me contact details..
+vikas sharma it's best to contact the manufacturer Permobil on: info@permobil.com and they can help you out with your specific questions. If you need more general advice about selecting a wheelchair you can also contact our information team on: information@scia.org.au - we also recommend people consult an occupational therapist when selecting complex equipment like a wheelchair. Thanks for commenting on the video :)

You have access to the internet, you can buy any chair you want in the world, use Google, a nice sports chair in the UK go anything from £500 for a good used sports chair, or about £3000 top of the range, it all depends what country you buy them from, Google is your friend :)

pronunciation on titanium so different than aluminium. Why ? They talk weird.
Cuanto.cuesta.x.f.
I'd say go to a company run by wheelchair users. You wouldn't buy a car off someone who doesn't drive, would you?
They missed out cushions!

Well done,but we need to get the disabled the wheelchairs first.\ only the rich could ever buy a wheelchair that is useful.insurance pays for nothing,they might rent you a clunky non folding chair.A 30 year old man that becomes disabled in American is screwed,he will lose everything,including his family in the end,the stress of no money,no help has destroyed more families.Even rehabilitation,insurance cuts off before most ever are ready to return to work,very sad.
wheel chairs are too fkn expensive. I was charged 1300 for a replacement backrest. hwhy robbery!
