At Better Mobility Limited in Chesham, we believe the right equipment can completely transform and enhance your daily life.

The Benefits of a Properly Assessed Wheelchair

For long-term or full-time wheelchair users, an assessment is an essential service. Beyond simply matching your personal dimensions, addressing your unique requirements, capabilities and aspirations, provides significant benefits:

• Enhanced Independence: Experience improved mobility and supported movement in your daily life.
• Health and Protection: Minimize the risk and development of pressure sores.
• Physical Function: Benefit from relaxed or improved muscle tone, alongside increased ability to achieve more with constantly improving technology.
• Posture and Stability: Achieve improved seated balance and symmetry whilst taking into account your unique abilities and requirements of the equipment.
• Internal Wellbeing: Promote better cardiovascular, digestive, and urinary tract function.
• Cognitive Support: Support better visual perception and overall cognitive function.
• Boosted Self-Esteem: Combining physical comfort with efficient function often results in an enhanced feeling of wellbeing and confidence.

What Happens During a Better Mobility Assessment?

Choosing the right equipment shouldn't be overwhelming. We guide you through a straightforward, personalized process to ensure we find exactly what you need from our extensive range of manufacturers.

1. A Friendly Consultation During the assessment, one of our specialists will have a relaxed chat with you and anyone involved in your care. We gather relevant background data to understand your medical history, environment, work, and leisure activities—everything about how, when, and where you need your chair to work most efficiently.
2. Physical Evaluation & Measurement We then perform a physical evaluation, taking detailed body measurements to understand your specific presentation. This allows us to discuss the features of available equipment that can improve or resolve issues you might be having with your current setup.
3. Equipment Demonstration Once we have established which chairs and seating may be appropriate based on your requirements and wants, we will demonstrate a range of suitable equipment that will achieve what you want it to. Because we work closely with a large range of manufacturers, we can offer a huge selection of possibilities for you to choose from and test hands-on.
4. Periodic Reviews Posture is never static, and our needs evolve as our lives do. We emphasize the importance of regularly reviewing your needs to ensure your chair and seating continue providing the absolute best function and support for your changing lifestyle.
