Off-road power wheelchairs are transforming mobility, enabling users to access terrains once thought impossible. But who can truly benefit from this technology? This session will explore both the clinical and mechanical considerations for individuals considering off-road wheelchairs.

By the end, attendees will have an understanding of how off-road power wheelchairs expand mobility and empower users in challenging environments. Presented by Andrew Lopez, Quantum Product Specialist & Clinical Educator.
