For a client who needs a chair for appointments, shopping and days out but does not self propel, the Omega LA1 gives an attendant a light, simple chair to push. The aluminium frame keeps the lifting weight down, so a partner or support worker can get it in and out of a boot without help.
Who it suits
It works well for someone with reasonable trunk control who walks short distances at home and needs wheeled support for anything longer. The legrests swing away and come off for transfers, and the backrest folds down so the chair packs flat for travel or storage. Attendant brakes lock the chair for stand transfers.
It is an easy chair to keep in the car or by the front door for the days a client cannot manage the distance.
