Recommendations for Motorized Wheeled Mobility Devices
1 CLINICAL PRACTICE Recommendations FOR Motorized Wheeled Mobility Devices : SCOOTERS, PUSHRIM-ACTIVATED POWER- assist WHEELCHAIRS, POWER WHEELCHAIRS, AND POWER WHEELCHAIRS WITH ENHANCED FUNCTION I. PURPOSE: The purpose of these clinical practice Recommendations is to provide physicians, therapists and other authorized personnel with functional criteria for prescribing Motorized Wheeled Mobility Devices . II. BACKGROUND The Under Secretary for Health directed VHA s Prosthetic and Sensory Aids Service Strategic Healthcare Group to establish a Prosthetic Clinical Management Program (PCMP). The objectives were to coordinate the development of clinical practice Recommendations for prosthetic prescription practices and contracting opportunities to assure technology uniformity and ease of access to prosthetic prescriptions and patient care that will lead to valid outcome measures and analysis for research purposes.
