Question 4

Why must I see a doctor to get a wheelchair from NSM?

Accepted Answer

Our clients have mobility challenges and are referred to us by therapists and physicians to receive mobility solutions that meets all their unique needs. If you need a wheelchair, your best plan is to talk with your physician or therapist and get a thorough evaluation from a qualified Rehab Technology Supplier (RTS).

Question 5

What if my medical condition changes?

Accepted Answer

Contact your local NSM branch and notify us of any changes that may affect the proper fit and function of your chair.

Question 6

Are there any dangers in using an off-the-shelf wheelchair?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. A standard or not customized chair can cause more harm than good. People come in all shapes and sizes; their chairs must be designed to fit them. In severe situations, a standard or not customized chair may:
- Cause significant physiological and psychological problems
- Lead to an increase in dependence because it’s not used due to lack of comfort
- Cause pressure sores, or decubitus, due to improper cushioning
- Become obsolete quickly if not configured to “grow with the child”
- Become a major expense to replace or reconfigure, because most funding sources will only reimburse for a new chair every five years.

Question 7

Do I have a choice of which mobility solutions company to use?

Accepted Answer

The choice of a wheeled mobility supplier is yours. Discuss your decision with your physician and therapist.
