Complex Rehab
Why Custom-Fit?
A properly fitted wheelchair/power chair is important for individuals of all ages who must spend more than 8 hours a day in their chairs. A chair that is specifically fitted to your size, weight, and physical requirements can prevent deterioration. If you are fit with the incorrect chair, your body will be in incorrect posture. One that is custom fit can improve your day to day living by giving you more independence. This is called complex rehabilitation. At Whitley Home Medical, we provide specialized complex rehabilitation equipment design services to help you maintain and improve your independence.
How We Fit
Whitley Home Medical offers comprehensive and individualized equipment that is geared to your unique physical needs. We take into account the diagnosis and its progression. We understand the diagnosis and make our chairs adaptable, so that as the condition progresses, the chair can be modified for these changes. Medicare/Insurance companies will only pay for 1 chair every five years and some diagnosis' change the body month to month.
In our seating clinic, our highly experienced team works with you and a physical or occupational therapist to set specific goals in the building process of your custom chair for a maximum level of independence. We build the chair for your body, diagnosis and lifestyle. Our design team specializes in custom fitting pediatric wheelchairs, as well as chairs for adults and seniors.
