Individuals living with cerebral palsy have symptoms that can vary in severity. Everyone is different, and one person with cerebral palsy may have a milder form and may only require a cane or walker to assist with mobility. In contrast, individuals with more serious forms of the condition may require a special wheelchair for cerebral palsy. Just like cerebral palsy can be different for each person, a wheelchair is different for every person as well! Quantum Rehab® provides power wheelchairs that are fully customized to fulfill pressure, positioning and other medical and quality-of-life needs. With customized mobility solutions that are innovative, individuals living with cerebral palsy can live full and independent lives.
There are many power wheelchairs on the market, so it’s important to find what works for you! Quantum’s Edge 3 Motorized Wheelchair is a great choice because it is fully compatible with different types of seating, electronics and positioning components. The Edge 3 Power Chair has many standard features that are extremely appealing, including a USB charger for cell phones, front and rear LED fender lights, and stylish drive wheel color accents in your choice of 19 colors. Choose a drive wheel accent color to match your base or pick a different color for a totally unique look! The Edge 3 also features upgraded SRS (Smooth Ride Suspension), which ensures a smooth ride with advanced stability, perfect for cerebral palsy patients who struggle with spasticity when going over small bumps.
The Edge 3 is available with optional iLevel® Power Adjustable Seat Height, which enables users to elevate their wheelchair up to 12 inches, while driving at 4.5 mph.
