Motorized Scooters
Motorized scooters allow for independent use, however these can be costly, require a ramp for maneuvering into minivans, and they are heavy.
These can be helpful options for independent use, especially when navigating more difficult symptoms in combination with fatigue.
We understand how helpful this option may be, especially if living alone and limited by the amount of help that is available, and it can also help individuals with more severe forms of POTS access a greater sense of autonomy.
It may be beneficial to consider various mobility aids by visiting a mobility aid store before purchasing so that the mobility aid can be tried/comfort level can be assessed.
