Ideas....advice....on wheelchair

[in...@ventusers.org]

 

Someone has an older chair and is getting a new one,  has a LP-10 and is switching to Trilogy and wants to add an oxygen concentrator to the chair, too.  Do you have any ideas, pitfalls, words of wisdom to share?  (The gentleman has muscular dystrophy and uses a vent full time.)

Much of this depends on what type of wheelchair that he is getting.  Some have more room under the seat than others.

For example, I have an Invacare and I have my Trilogy mounted on a special rack underneath my seat.  With this type of configuration, it might be possible to put the oxygen concentrator in a backpack.  Or, possibly an oxygen concentrator could be mounted underneath the seat alongside the ventilator.  Most oxygen concentrators I've seen are quite small, so it should be easy to figure out where to put it.

Good luck!
