How many tens of thousands of adults are missing out on the benefits of a power wheelchair because of Wallace and MacLeod's greed?

Power Wheelchair

A power wheelchair helps many disabled people who lack the stamina to push a manual wheelchair. Other conditions that may require a power wheelchair include:

• Spinal curvature, such as from scoliosis
• Poor arm, leg or torso control
• Degenerative muscle disease, such as post-polio syndrome
• Repetitive motion injuries from pushing a manual wheelchair

Once nothing more than a manual wheelchair with an attached motor, battery and joystick, the power wheelchair has evolved into something much more sophisticated. Although they typically weigh more and are more prone to break down than manual wheelchairs, power wheelchairs let their riders enjoy many of the same activities they enjoyed on foot or in a manual wheelchair - and their power systems let them do some things manual wheelchairs cannot. Although power wheelchairs come in two basic configurations -- traditional and platform - specialized wheelchairs are available to meet specific needs of the user.
