Power Assist for Wheelchairs

Power assist devices are designed to help manual wheelchair users travel further with less physical effort. These systems attach to a manual wheelchair and provide motorised assistance through a joystick or push control, reducing strain on the arms and shoulders while maintaining the flexibility of a manual chair.

MobilityCare offers innovative wheelchair power assist solutions designed to enhance independence while preserving the manoeuvrability of a manual wheelchair. Examples include the Light Drive Wheelchair Power Assist, which converts a manual wheelchair into a powered wheelchair in seconds, and the Light Assist companion-operated power assist, designed to help carers push a wheelchair more easily.

These power assist systems are commonly recommended by Australian Occupational Therapists when additional mobility support is required but a full power wheelchair is not necessary.

These power assisted wheelchair systems are available across Australia through MobilityCare’s network of authorised mobility equipment dealers.
