Wheelchairs: A good way is to visit a medical orthopedic store that carries various wheelchairs, so you can see what the best option if for your needs.

Seating clinic: Wheelchair fitting should be done in a specialized clinic at a rehabilitation center, and might include pressure mapping, and/or evaluation for a custom-molded seat back or cushion. An appropriate letter of medical necessity is mandatory for most insurance carriers to cover the cost, which could range up to $20, 000 or more for a power chair.
