Use & Benefits

Big adventures, little push

When your child is more active — like playing outside or maneuvering the halls at school —but still needs a little help propelling, the Power Assist Add-On can keep him or her moving. Children still self-propel in this manual wheelchair, but they can engage the Power-Assist Add-On to preserve energy.

Use
The Power Assist Add-On is a great option if your child doesn’t quite need a power wheelchair, but could use the occasional support of a power source to keep moving and active.
Improves Endurance
Having a part-time power source can combat fatigue when your child is self-propelling.
Reduces Pain
The Power Assist Add-On gives your child’s body a much-needed break when self propelling.
