Quadriplegics and others with limited movement or strength in their arms, neck, or other parts of
the upper body may not be good candidates for mobility scooter use. Each situation differs, but
in general, those driving mobility scooters need to be able to steer using a tiller, which
requires some strength and smooth movements. In many cases, those unable to safely operate a
power scooter can use a power wheelchair, which has small and sensitive controls that can be
operated with just a few fingers. Discuss your abilities with a doctor prior to making any
purchases.
