In our previous podcast, LNP 294, Steve Henry shared his knowledge about the intricacies of wheelchairs. The chairs Steve described were specially fitted orthotic devices.
As I interviewed Steve, I thought of the type of wheelchair that I was more familiar with – the kind used for transport. Intended to move patients from one place to another, the patient stays in that wheelchair for longer than brief trips.
