Abstract: Wheelchairs are common and necessary items included in life care plans for people with disabilities who have ambulation impairments and must rely on wheeled mobility. The need for and types of wheelchairs vary widely depending on numerous variables making selection of the most appropriate mobility equipment complex. In order to plan for appropriate costs for purchase, replacement, and maintenance of this vital equipment, it is important for life care planners to have knowledge of the wheelchair technology currently available to people with disabilities and the personnel best able to assist with mobility choices.
