Power Wheelchairs

Power wheelchairs provide independent mobility for people who cannot self-propel a manual chair due to limited upper body strength, fatigue, or conditions that affect endurance. They use a joystick or alternative controls and are available in compact indoor models, rugged outdoor designs, and everything in between.

Our power wheelchair guides compare top models across categories, explain the differences between Group 1, 2, and 3 power chairs (and why it matters for Medicare), and walk you through the documentation process for getting a power chair covered by insurance.
