People who face difficulty moving around due to medical or ageing related conditions, find great support through Drive Medical mobility products. Accidents, major or minor, may cause injuries in limbs, affecting mobility. Patients with severe mobility problems due to accident, age or other medical conditions need power mobility products to lead a near normal, independent and active lifestyle.

Power Mobility Devices (PMDs)are a class of wheelchairs, four-wheeled motorized vehicles used for mobility and transport. Their steering is operated by an electronic device like a joystick. They also provide POVs (three or four-wheeled motorized scooters operated by a tiller).

A power wheelchair is highly beneficial if the patient is suffering from severe weakness of the upper extremity, which may happen in case of neurologic or muscular disorder. As users can operate a power wheelchair using a single hand or head control, it becomes easier for them to move around. However, they are apt for in-home use due to their limited turning radius. Their design is not fit for outside use like while traveling or shopping.

Power Operated Vehicles, on the other hand, are wonderful mobility scooters with wider turning radius to overcome the limitations of movement. The mobility aid provides better access to the society and enjoy community activities. POVs are also popular among seniors who find it difficult to walk or stand
