Full Description

The Q6 Edge accepts a complete range of seating and electronics options to deliver exceptional rehab capability at an excellent value.
Cognitive Abilities
For safe use, users must understand cause + effect (action = result). Independent use requires directional understanding (i.e. moving control in one direction results in matching chair movement), problem solving (i.e. plan + coordinate movements to get from A to B), and judgment (ability to learn that if something is unsafe they should not do it).
Functional Abilities
Users must have adequate vision and be able to use either a joystick, head/tray array, breath control or a combination control. This chair is best for people with upper limb weakness/pain, poor trunk control, limited endurance, cardiopulmonary disease, and obesity. This chair may be unsafe for those with visual deficits and uncontrolled seizures.
Environment
Mid wheel drive power chairs have the smallest turn circumference of the power chair types and are better suited for indoor use where space is limited. This chair can be used both indoors and outdoors. However, because the centre of rotation is directly under the user, they can be less stable than other power chair types on uneven terrain.
Activities
Given its small turning circumference relative to other power chairs, this chair would be best for indoor activities like shopping, dining in restaurants, visiting art galleries and museums, and going to work or school. If using outside, activities done on flat level surfaces would be best.
Please speak with your healthcare provider and schedule an in-person consultation before purchasing this product, to evaluate whether it is truly the best option for you.

Everyone looks at my wheelchair, but I love the power
When I use my manual wheelchair it makes me realize how much better power wheelchair is
General maintenance issues. Sometimes works great, other times doesn’t work.
I would be uncomfortable if not fitted to your needs. One size does not fit all.

More difficult to use on my left side. Needed to change joystick to my left side (non-dominant) because my right hand is too weak. Harer with my left hand. Yes, I would recommend it for people who live in small spaces.

I’m able to get around better + more comfortable with the tilt. I am more independent. No one has to change my position. I can do it independently with the tilt feature. The tilt is good. It relieves my pain. It’s easy to use. It works well.

I’m able to go out and meet people. I drive 2-3 km per day. I would be stuck at home without it. I like the increased speed.
