When a patient suffers from permanent or deteriorating balance and mobility issues, the goals of maintaining independence and participating in daily activities are still possible provided the right assistance is involved. Assistive devices, such as mobility scooters, allow patients to maintain their independence and still actively participate in their daily life.

3. Assistive devices, such as mobility scooters, allow patients to
maintain their independence and still actively participate in
their daily life.
4. When a patient considers getting a mobility scooter, the biggest
question becomes which mobility scooter to consider? As with
buying a car, sometimes the answer lies in the available features
each mobility scooter offers.
5. The Spitfire Scout 3-Wheel Scooter is one mobility scooter on the
market which offers many features most patients need to support
them in their daily routine.
7. 1. MANEUVERABILITY:
The Spitfire Scout has a 45 inch turning radius, meaning it can maneuver even
in tight spaces. This makes it the perfect choice for use when doing any sort of
shopping when managing aisles and crowds might be an issue.
8. Just as with buying a car, taller people
when buying a scooter can sometimes feel
like certain scooters aren’t made for them,
because they don’t have any room.
The Spitfire Scout has an extended
footboard and 3 height selections in the
seat to work for patients of nearly any
height.
2. ACCOUNTS FOR TALLER PATIENTS:
9. 3. COMFORT:
Comfort is a must-have feature! No one wants to be out running errands in a
scooter that is uncomfortable to sit in. The Spitfire Scout has comfort in mind
with an upholstered stadium seat with padded arm rests.
10. 4. EASE OF TRANSFER:
Ease of transfer is a must-have feature
when considering which scooter to
purchase, particularly when balance
may be an issue for patients.
With a moveable tiller and armrests
that flip up, and a seat that is able to
swivel 180 degrees, transfers in and
out of the Spitfire Scout are made with
ease.
11. One feature I really appreciate is the battery gauge which is easy to read and
know when the battery may be getting low. When the battery is low, charging
is also a snap with its accessible port on the battery pack.
5. EASE TO CHARGE:
12. The Spitfire Scout 3-Wheel Scooter is one of those tools that not only help
maintain quality of life, but helps improve it for users with its ease of use and
available features.
13. It’s a must-have tool for patients with balance and walking issues that
still would like to maintain their own independence and keep to their
normal routines.
