So very happy for you Amy, having a proper wheelchair made FOR YOU, fit TO your body, makes all the difference in quality of life. At first glance of her old chair, I could see that would never work and be so uncomfortable.... and with your feet out so far in front of you, you can't get close to anything. I hope you enjoy your newfound freedom. Greetings from across the pond :)
wheels just look to small or she is sitting too high, thought she should be able to touch the wheel release pins. ? her top half is having to lean forward too much to get a nice push ?
That's great. Something really needs to be done about the way the NHS is scripting chairs for new paras. That chair was disgusting. The Kuschal looks great, and I think I'll have a good look at it for my next soon. That said, looking at her core, she's obviously a relatively low and possibly incomplete. I think Amy would benefit greatly from lowering that back by another 6-8 inches and even losing the handles.
Correct, that is because she is not. Amy's disability means she can walk short distances too (see crutch holder within the video) but she wanted a nice wheelchair so when she does need to use a wheelchair it's perfect for her.

How much is this chair?
Approx £3000 as you see in the video.
The new chair is higher by 3 cm than it needed to be
She never looks like a paraplegic
