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.
