Amputee

An amputee wheelchair is not a standard chair with a part missing. The Glide Amputee Wheelchair moves the rear axle back to compensate for the changed centre of gravity after lower limb amputation, because a standard chair with a rearward centre of mass will tip, and finding that out the hard way is not an option.

Support pads for the residual limb, adjusted geometry and Glide's Australian build quality make this the right platform while permanent seating is sorted, or as the permanent chair itself.

Post-amputation equipment is universally OT-involved and NDIS funded as assistive technology. Send the prescription through and we will quote same day, and if you are early in the process and not sure what the equipment pathway looks like, our pharmacists will map it out with you on 1300 216 888.
