Meeting Your Mobility Needs

At Omega Rehab and Mobility, we are dedicated to tailoring advanced mobility technologies to condition-specific needs – all intended to revolutionize your power chair mobility experience.  Power Chairs offer life-enhancing advanced power chair technologies to improve your mobility and way of life.

Do you have a disability that affects your mobility? Omega Rehab and Mobility offers complex rehab power wheelchairs to meet your medical and quality-of-life needs. Our consumers are living proof that power wheelchairs can empower you to live a full and active life.

To find out if you qualify for a power wheelchair, please schedule a face-to-face visit with your doctor or physical therapist. They will conduct an in-person evaluation to determine if a complex rehab technology product would benefit you. They may write you a prescription for a power wheelchair. The clinician may also take measurements of your body to determine power wheelchair seat width and depth, length of footplates, and much more.

Your therapist may work with an Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) who works for the authorized Quantum provider. ATPs are certified through RESNA (Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America). Together, the therapist and ATP determine which motorized wheelchair and components benefit you the most.

Omega Rehab and Mobility also works with you regarding your insurance, Medicare and Medicaid coverage of your power wheelchair.

Once the power wheelchair is ordered and delivered to your provider, you also need to be fitted in your electric wheelchair. A fitting is important because an improperly fitted electric wheelchair can cause problems with a person’s breathing, swallowing, skin integrity and digestion. The ATP evaluates the seat depth, seat width, seat height, backrest width, backrest height and armrest height. Adjustments may be needed to ensure your proper positioning and comfort level. The ATP also checks to make sure the correct power wheelchair components were ordered and delivered, and that all components operate correctly.

During your fitting, the ATP also teaches you how to properly operate and maintain your electric wheelchair. This overview should be more than just reviewing the owner’s manual for your wheelchair. The ATP should work with you to ensure you are positioned correctly and able to comfortably drive the power wheelchair and operate its features. You should understand how often to charge the batteries on your electric wheelchair, how to clean it, and when to contact your provider for maintenance.
