Foundations Of Power Mobility: Scooters To Power Wheelchairs

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. Which of the following describes a key clinical goal for using a power mobility device? To replace the need for any physical therapy or exercise To provide independent mobility for a client unable to self-propel a manual wheelchair safely or efficiently To allow a client to travel at speeds exceeding 15 miles per hour To ensure the client never has to perform a manual transfer again
2. What is a notable disadvantage (con) specifically associated with 3-wheel scooters compared to 4-wheel versions? They are less stable and have a higher risk of tipping. They have a much larger turning radius. They are generally heavier and harder to transport. They provide too much power for indoor use.
3. Which power wheelchair drive wheel configuration is known for having the smallest possible footprint and the most "intuitive" driving platform? Front-wheel drive Rear-wheel drive Center or Mid-wheel drive Hybrid-wheel drive
4. How is "Power Tilt" defined in terms of the seating system's angles? The seat to back angle opens to stretch the hip flexors. All angles (pelvis, knees, and ankles) stay the same while the system moves in space. Only the legrests move upward to reduce swelling. The seat height increases while the back remains vertical.
5. According to the course materials, what are the two primary categories of power wheelchair alternative driving methods? Indoor and Outdoor Manual and Motorized Bluetooth and Wired Proportional (analog) and Non-Proportional (digital)
