Complex rehabilitation technology (CRT) consists of specialized mobility devices, such as custom power wheelchairs, designed specifically for individuals with severe disabilities like spinal cord injuries or neuromuscular disorders. Unlike standard wheelchairs, these systems are highly customizable to meet unique clinical and lifestyle needs.
Key components of these wheelchairs include:
- Power Bases: Options like mid-wheel drive for tight indoor spaces or rear-wheel drive for outdoor stability.
- Seating Systems: Custom contoured cushions and powered tilt-recline functions that provide posture support and essential pressure relief to prevent skin issues.
- Control Interfaces: Specialized joysticks or alternative inputs like head arrays for users with limited dexterity.
MedEquipped provides an end-to-end service for patients in New York, Georgia, and Michigan.

The typical timeline from order to delivery is 30 to 60 days, which includes hands-on training for the user.
