A. Your Safety and Stability
Ki Mobility manufactures many different wheelchairs that might meet your needs. You should consult

requirements and how the wheelchair should be set up and adjusted. Final selection of the type of
wheelchair, options and adjustments rests solely with you and your medical professional. The
options you choose and the set-up and adjustment of the wheelchair have a direct impact on its
stability. Factors to consider that affect your safety and stability are:
a. Your personal abilities and capabilities including strength, balance and coordination.
b. The types of hazards and obstacles you might encounter during your day.

should only make changes after consulting with a qualified professional.
