What Happens During a Wheelchair Assessment?
During a wheelchair assessment at Dubai Mobility, a trained professional will assess your individual needs and requirements to ensure that you get the right wheelchair for you and your lifestyle.
A wheelchair assessment will typically include the following:
- Discussion of your medical history and current mobility needs: The assessor will ask you about your medical history, including any conditions that may affect your mobility, as well as your current needs and goals for using a wheelchair.
- Measurements of your body and dimensions: The assessor will take measurements of your body, including your height, weight, and reach, as well as the dimensions of your home and other environments where you will be using the wheelchair.
- Evaluation of your functional abilities: The assessor will observe you performing various tasks, such as transferring from a bed to a wheelchair, getting in and out of a car and navigating different types of terrain, to assess your functional abilities and identify any areas where you may need assistance.
- Discussion of your preferences and budget: The assessor will discuss your preferences for features and accessories, as well as your budget, to help you narrow down your choices.
The Benefits of a Professional Wheelchair Assessment

Depending on your goals and requirements, they may suggest a standard wheelchair for those who just want help getting around and to complete day to day tasks or for those who are very active, an active wheelchair may be recommended.
