I am SO grateful for your videos! I am an Occupational Therapy student studying for my certification exam. Your videos help me actually understand what I am reading about in my text books. THANK YOU!!!!! I would be lost without these videos.

Thank you for this, I'm a new ambulatory wheelchair user, learning how to set up my chair should help me propel better and hopefully reduce fatigue.

I have severe rheumatoid arthritis ... I've put off getting a wheel chair because of the seat being too low ... My knees ... So you helped me so much ... Thank you 💕

[@Blueshape7]

Amazing videos, thus helps so much

[@alexiscoffey7874]

The whole not locking the wheelchair is giving me anxiety lol! Great video! Exactly what I was looking for

[@jengenealogy9610]

I would like to know what make and model that chair is, a link to buy one would be great, thanks!

[@virgdan1]

I just bought a Drive transport chair for my Mom but it also has the big wheels. The chair sits too high. And it doesn’t have the adjustable holes like in your video. How do I lower it? I can send photos.

[@goflylow]

Thank you. I have been sold many medical devices and they are never set up correctly. Thank you for showing me how to get more comfortable in my chair.

[@BobandBrad]

You're welcome Nathan :)

[@Idahomie]

What about the rear seat adjustment? Theres alot more info needed to fit a chair properly. How bout a couple more vids on this subject.

[@brin57]

You're asking the wrong folks about wheelchair fitting!!

[@lancegoetz2539]

1. Therapists, therapist’s. 2. This is not too bad, but there are therapists and ATPs ( Assistive technology professionals) who should be relied upon for wheelchair fitting.

[@paulatiredofthisshit]

Okay, great. That makes it higher. I know somebody who I swear seems to need a wheelchair only about 14 inches high. She's hanging and she can't get on it and can't get off it. She's semi-paralyzed and very very short. But she can't have the kids wheelchair because she's wide. What are they supposed to do?

[@ROC2010ROC]

Very dated wheelchair. Today's chairs are lightweight ones made from titanium.

[@tracybenson4598]

Please speak up!!! We’re old Ans we can’t hear you!!

[@noface5208]

Bad video could have shown us a demonstration didn’t even explain the profess if front casters and real wheels and how to determine witch hole to put in thumbs down

[@brin57]

Because they don't know squat about fitting wheelchairs.

[@bogus_not_me]

Seems rather poor thinking too concentrate on keeping the knees at 90°! I definitely do NOT want to have to use my FEET to move the wheelchair - that's why the big wheels have that ring so your ARMS provide power to move. i'm 6' tall so i needa higher s3at to b e comfortable. The two of you totally missed the main purpose people need a wheelchair and how to adjust the height and alignment of all four wheels. I'm not going to be a fan of your channel.

[@dianechuckandrews1215]

Listen again, you didn't hear some pointers. They also said how to make the chair higher (moving wheels & adding and cushions). Some ppl do need to use their feet, others don't - hence the foot rests.
