Drivability is defined as “the degree of smoothness and steadiness of acceleration”. When considering drivability in the terms of power wheelchair management, it is not only an extremely important factor for an end user’s safety in controlling the power wheelchair, but a huge consideration in the satisfaction and comfort of using the device. When evaluating an end user for a power mobility device, much consideration is given to the mobility base, seating components, and drive controls, but there are other features to consider as well. This course will look at these important additional features including programming options, drive wheel configuration, suspension, and tracking technology.
