Professionals
Qualified professionals such as Physical and Occupational Therapists or a Physicatrist (physical medicine doctor) will complete thorough evaluations including the following information:
They will rule out of less costly mobility equipment such as canes, crutches, walkers.
If you need a power chair or scooter then a manual wheelchair must be ruled out.
The professional will document your diagnoses with symptoms, history of your condition, physical examination as it relates to the equipment, and also a functional assessment.
Sometimes special forms must be completed and we will provide these to the person you choose when needed.
When making an appointment always tell the scheduling person you need a "Mobility Evaluation".
