Hi Jackie,
I think I just called it the wrong name. I meant a powered chair you sit on, and kind of looks like a vespa!
At the shopping centres they hire out these scooter chair things - mainly for the elderly.
So what I meant was I'd be sitting down with no pressure on anything except my butt.  |
Yes. that is the type I was meaning. You would be amazed at the load put on your back whilst steering. I am more aware of this since my whole back is paralysed both motor and sensory. Your butt is taking a constant load whilst your arms are taking an intermittant load that is pushing on your upper torso.
