    Thanks for sharing this video ! My caregiver and PT therapist recommended that I consider getting a Transport Wheelchair. I am currently researching the subject. I really appreciate your explanations and advice !

    Thanks for reading my first comment from the other day.

    Some of us have a tendance of plopping down quickly onto a chair. Your video shows we need to calmly control our movement into the chair as we lower our selves downwards. To prevent a backwards Fall. Good video content.

    That was Terrific ...the way you demonstrated falling backward. I will show my 96 year old mother ...as we are considering buying a transport. Also, it's good the brakes can be reached by the occupant. Some models dont allow for that.

    Thanks for explaining all this to us, your viewers. I wouldn't want to fall over backwards in one of those wheeled chairs. I'm glad you're alright.

      Mary, thank you for your comment! I'm glad it got the point across to be safe! Unfortunately it happens all too often. If it can help reduce the risk of even one fall, it was well worth making the video. Thank you for your feedback.

    I just saw something called "Anti-tip Wheels" that regular wheelchairs have, but are sold as accessories for some Transport Chairs. Would that make tipping over when you sit less probable?

    Does using this chair with both feet to move around count as non weightbearing on my hip?

    What a great demonstration, tho it was scary to see you fall it was a great warning. I wonder if it will work to have it against a wall with the brakes on? Sometimes I am alone.

      Eustaquia, I'm not sure actually. The doctor could help advise more as to what may or may not be covered.

      My mom has original medicare and original medicade. My mom's Dr. wrote a rx and we gave it to a durable medical equipment (DME) company and the DME sent paper work for the medicare the to the dr to fill out. Once everything was completed, the DME company delivered this to our house. It's actually rent to own. After twelve months we have the option to keep it. Medicare is paying for its rental.
