Jazzy Carbon to the Rescue

by Marie Pontini

There are many different reasons why someone would need a power wheelchair like my Stretto Edge 3 from Quantum Rehab Canada. These reasons may encompass the need to conserve energy due to a progressive illness, debilitating pain, the physical risks associated with walking, dislocations, pulmonary insufficiency, cardiac issues, fainting spells, balance problems, uncoordinated movements, spasms, and more.
My Stretto Edge 3, provided by Quantum Rehab Canada, is tailored to my body's shape, positioning, measurements, and specific needs. It enables me to sit comfortably for an entire day without experiencing any additional discomfort or pain.
As is well-known, the use of such wheelchairs necessitates an adapted vehicle (like a mini-van or para-transit bus) for long distances or in adverse weather conditions, which can complicate spontaneous situations.
Recently, I found myself unable to locate a rental-adapted vehicle to attend the Quebec Multiple Sclerosis convention, located two hours outside of Montreal. I was faced with the prospect of not being able to attend.
This is when the Jazzy Carbon transport power wheelchair came to my rescue!
A foldable power wheelchair boasts numerous advantages for last-minute situations and serves as a practical alternative for full-time power wheelchair users. For instance, individuals with dynamic disabilities may find this tool invaluable when faced with activities involving extensive walking, such as shopping in a mall.
Now, I have the flexibility to go on a date or embark on a weekend road trip with my friends in their vehicles. It's also straightforward and easy to travel by plane. Most importantly, it provides peace of mind knowing that I can quickly access the hospital in the event of an emergency.
While it may not be customized to our precise measurements and needs, the Jazzy Carbon stands as a remarkable and comfortable alternative. The Jazzy Carbon specifications place it in a league of its own. The Jazzy Carbon has front wheel shocks, a slim but comfortable seat cushion, the possibility to lift the armrests to facilitate transfers, easily accessible levers at the back wheels to put it in manual mode and be pushed if necessary and a bag under the seat with a lot of space to fit the charger, an extra battery, a purse and more!
It's very lightweight which makes it easy to put in the trunk of a car, and it can be carried like luggage once folded. Its folded size is even smaller than my mobility walker! So, carrying it in any situation where it could become necessary, makes it the perfect solution for those "in case" circumstances!
For those dealing with progressive illnesses and dynamic disabilities, the availability of different mobility aids translates to increased autonomy, independence, and expanded possibilities. These tools are genuinely life-changing!
I couldn’t be more grateful for the presence of my new Jazzy Carbon transport power wheelchair!
