I have MS &amp; cant walk, 1 leg is quite weak (&amp;feels like it's weighed down) I'd need help lifting my foot on. Would it work from a wheelchair on carpet

In my opinion; YES, but lock the wheelchair in position and place Aerobic pedaler in front of you at a comfortable distance to pedal from. I modified mine a bit by fastening rubber feet so they could not turn over with drilling a hole in the top of them and using a sheet metal screw through them into the metal pipe, but I believe a good adhesive would work as well. They were a nuisance to keep flat on the floor otherwise.

This is a smaller, lighter wheelchair than the one that my mother had before. It is more narrow and it also sits higher than the typical wheelchair, so if you like to push yourself along by using your feet it will be harder to do that, unless you're taller and your legs can reach the ground.

Yes. I just used this model of Drive transport wheelchair for a 3-day weekend with my father. If you look at the photos, each side has a rubber-padded tube extending in the back just inside each rear wheel. You can push down on either one with a foot while you pull back the handles at the top with your hands. This helps lift the chair over a small bump or ridge. Just be careful! This isn't meant for off-roading. ;)

No it's not. They do sell another type that may work, but with this one, you'll have to be able to pick up the chair about a foot off the ground. Scott Smith

My mother is 5'5" tall. While seated in the wheelchair she can put both feet flat on the ground. I can measure the actual height when I see her on April 2 and I can answer this question exactly. You would have to turn the chair around and pull it over the cracks or bumps. This is strictly a chair for use when shopping, transporting from vehicle to restaurant, dr. appt., on flat surfaces. I would recommend something with bigger tires for grass and/or uneven surfaces.

I returned mine as a friend had bought me one as a gift. It works well on either floor or carpet. A few ladies in my rehab class had this cane & my therapist recommended it above others. I was recovering from knee replacement surgery as was worried about my balance. Because the bottom is like a foot it is stable & supportive.

It would probably be a very effective tool for weight loss, If I were able to do the positions in the manual. I am disabled (Multiple Sclerosis), in a wheelchair and therefore not a great person to ask. When I first purchased the product, I called the number in the manual and actually spoke with the person depicted in the manual so I can say that it has been without a doubt the best money I've ever spent to help me aid in my mobility issues.

I loaned mine to my elderly neighbor and she could not lift it. I really like it for myself because you canset the resistance. I believe you would have difficulty with any unit that is too light to hold its place on the flooring. I believe your mother would NOT be able to move the unit

Holly, I am not sure if it would work I haven't tried that............... because I have both legs imputed. This is the second cushion I have had in my wheel chair it does good for me. Sorry I wasn't any help.

You can't. This was the worst walker I have ever purchased you also have to disassemble it to store it. It doesnt work well on carpet either. Sorry.

Hi Jackie!! I am also disabled..that is the reason that I wanted the 2 in 1 system..it is as easy as pushing a broom across the floor..

yes absolutely. You will find this machine in a lot physical therapy places. My mom uses it in her living room and she has carpet. The machine doesn't skid because it has rubber pieces on it.

Hello, 1) only apply pressure in a scrubbing motion for specific stubborn spots (dried foods etc) 2) it is not heave, but the handle is not adjustable for height, I think you should be ok using from the wheelchair. 3) it unfortunately does not stand on its own because of the swivel head.

Good Morning: I'm sorry it can not. I went on the official site and it said the Cane is pressure tested to support up to 250 lbs. I myself have used this cane and it isn't all it says it is. I would go to a store that sells medical equipment and see what they have to offer so you will be safe. Happy Holidays.
