When you hear the Southwest Airlines tagline “You’re now free to move about the country” the one time that you could really appreciate it, is if you were to loose that freedom.

Stricken with failed knees, and an ill-fitted wheelchair that set her up for a horrible fall from a church ramp, Evelyn Austin, had become a prisoner in her Williamstown, Nj home, confined to her bed for almost 2 years. Although Austin had the necessary support needed to make her home more accessible to her, such as these Terry home lifts, she still was not able to move around her home due to her failing mobility.

Lil’ Wayne came to know about Evelyn through a series of letters that her daughter Ronda Austin had written him while he was incarcerated.

It is important to have a wheelchair that properly fits or else, as Evelyn Austin can vouch, it can result in bad falls and accidents. As well as that, a proper fitting can also prevent medical problems such as pressure wounds and blood clots, which obviously cause unnecessary pain and complications. Furthermore, a properly fitted wheelchair provides comfortable seating and good back support, which in turn improves posture. This also means that it can help you breathe easier, swallow easier, and experience less pain.

Generally, powered or electric wheelchairs are more popular than manual ones – simply because they are easier to use and require less effort from the user. If you are looking for an electric wheelchair, you might also want to consider how you would transport it. If you have access to a vehicle, you will want a foldable wheelchair so that you can store it in the car during journeys. With all of that in mind, there is a list of the best foldable electric wheelchairs on the Scooters N Chairs website (go to site). It is worth a look if you are planning on purchasing a wheelchair.
