Today, we discuss how to choose a wheelchair, and The Wheelchair Handbook: the Permobil wheelchair buying guide. In Part 2 of ‘Choosing a Wheelchair’, we speak with Brenlee Mogul Roman from Permobil as she walks through the \u2018The Wheelchair Handbook\u2019, an information guide meant to empower wheelchair users with the information needed to know what products are available on the market and what their options are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brenlee Mogul-Rotman is an occupational therapist and is the National Clinical & Technical Education Manager for Permobil in Canada. She is a member of the Ontario Society of Occupational Therapists, College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario and a Board Member of the Canadian Spinal Research Organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wheelchair Handbook is a guide intended to provide the consumer with essential information about the wheelchair service provision process. This guide can be used when a consumer is being evaluated for their first wheelchair, before receiving a new or replacement wheelchair, and to share with caregivers involved in these processes. The Wheelchair Handbook seeks to show the equipment solutions that Permobil manufactures and how they may benefit a variety of consumers in many ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a wheelchair fits you and matches your \u00ab\u00a0individual lifestyle\u00a0\u00bb, your daily focus can shift to participating in what is meaningful to you. Conversely, when equipment is selected without your input, the wheelchair can become a barrier to your independence. You are the expert in the subject. Successfully matching you to your equipment, requires insight into your routines, challenges, values, and preferences. Your team can best assist you if you come prepared to explain your routines and any medical challenges. Having a clear picture of what your needs are, and understanding the process of equipment provision is essential to reaching a good outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
