2.1 Choose the right chair and safety options

Sunrise provides a choice of many power wheelchair styles,
sizes and adjustments to meet the needs of the user.
However, final selection of a wheelchair and control system
rests solely with the user and their health care professional.
Choosing the best system for the user depends on such
things as:
1. User's size, disability, strength, balance and coordination.
2. User's intended use, and level of activity.
3. The types of hazards the user must overcome in daily
use (in areas where the chair is most likely to be used).
The need for options for user's safety and comfort
4.
(such as positioning belts or special seating systems).
2.2 Adjust chair to user ability
The user needs to work with their doctor, nurse or
therapist, and their Authorized Dealer, to fit their chair and
adjust the controller settings for their level of function and
ability.
NOTE:
• Please keep a note of the local service authorized dealer's
address and telephone number in the space provided. In
the event of a breakdown, contact them and try to give all
relevant details so they can help quickly.
