Unable to self propel as I have lost most of my use of right hand. The wheelchair is used when I am away from the house and would become fatigued i.e standing for longer than 10 minutes or walking more than 50-75 meters.

Driving my TiLite AeroZ is actually fun! It's so friendly, superbly engineered, fitted well, easy to propel, sturdy, and maneuverable. Before the chair, I used a very nice rollator, but I discovered that walking was very fatiguing even when assisted. The TiLite chair gives me so much more freedom.

Advice & Tips
Don't leave it too late. I found it very difficult to start off, I was reluctaant even to let my children see me in it. In fact my 15 year old son used to roll around the house in it long before I had the couage to use it. The benefit that was unexpected is arriviing at a destination without, what has become for me, the associated fatigue of the journey.

Standing and/or walking caused me serious fatigue. Using a chair really helps. I stopped using this borrowed chair because I got my permanent chair.

Advice & Tips
Technically I am Kurtzke EDSS 5.5, so I am able to walk. But when I do, fatigue consumes my entire body. So I borrowed a K0005 wheelchair (Quickie 2) to try out. It has made a tremendous difference. Because it's helping reduce my secondary fatigue so much, the Veterans Admin has Rxd me a wheelchair. I get fit for it in 3 weeks. This borrowed chair, though helpful, is too wide, too heavy, and too tall for me. I am very excited to be getting my own custom-fit chair. The VA Doc was very glad to hear I was exercising at a gym (including my legs). I continue to walk a little so my legs won't atrophy.
