Frequently Asked Questions
What does this quiz assess?
It screens for walking and standing demands, balance or stability concerns, fatigue or pain patterns, and access barriers that may affect mobility. It indicates whether a discussion about a wheelchair or another mobility aid may be appropriate.
Can this quiz determine whether a wheelchair is medically necessary?
No. It cannot diagnose a condition, determine medical necessity, or prescribe equipment.
Is it relevant if walking is possible some of the time?
Yes. Mobility needs can vary by distance, symptom flare-ups, terrain, and the amount of support available in a setting.
How should results be used?
Use results to guide a conversation with a clinician, physical therapist, or occupational therapist about symptoms, safety, and functional goals. Bring specific examples of situations that limit walking, standing, or transfers.
When should urgent medical care be sought?
Seek urgent help for sudden weakness, collapse, a serious fall, chest pain, severe breathing trouble, or rapidly worsening symptoms. Emergency services may be needed if safety is at risk.
