Reclining wheelchair: I am sad for your mom’s condition, and you are commended for assisting her. She needs a reclining wheelchair with an extended back, as her spine cannot hold its position either due to muscle/bone weakness or other fractures. Also, her muscles are shortening, resulting in the arm tightness you describe. She will benefit from gentle range of motion and foam wedges for positioning.
