Standard & Group 2 Power Wheelchairs Freedom Within Reach.
Dependable power mobility designed to help individuals safely navigate the home and participate more independently in everyday activities.
RELIABLE POWER MOBILITY FOR EVERYDAY LIFE.
UNDERSTANDING STANDARD POWER MOBILITY
Everyday mobility with powered independence.
Standard and Group 2 power wheelchairs may be appropriate for individuals who cannot safely or independently complete mobility-related activities using a cane, walker or manual wheelchair. These systems typically provide a compact powered base, joystick operation and standard seating for daily mobility.
The right category matters. Standard and Group 2 power wheelchairs are different from complex rehab power systems, which support advanced electronics, specialized seating and multiple power functions.
EVERYDAY BENEFITS

Standard Seating
Available options may include captain's seats, standard rehab seating and basic positioning components.
Stable Mobility Base
Power bases are designed to provide predictable control and stability during appropriate everyday use.
Reduced Physical Effort
Joystick operation can reduce the strength and endurance demands of manual mobility.
Daily Activities
Powered mobility may improve access to toileting, bathing, dressing, eating and other activities within the home.
Simple Controls
A traditional joystick provides straightforward operation for individuals who can safely use standard proportional controls.
WHO MAY BENEFIT?
When walking or manual mobility is no longer sufficient.
Recommendations are based on the complete evaluation, home environment, functional needs and applicable payer criteria.
A mobility limitation affects one or more daily activities in the home.
A manual wheelchair cannot be used effectively because of strength, endurance, pain or other limitations.
The home provides adequate access, turning space and surfaces for the equipment.
