Hi and welcome to the community
Are you wanting to know what to put in the walking section ? not quite sure from your post what you want to know
If you cant walk or stand for more than you state then tick the box that this falls into, and also pout an explanation that you use the wheelchair both inside and out
Give an example of jhow far you walked eg to end of path or into kitchen and then why you have to go into your chair etc or that you can only walk or stand for a certain time length
Let us kn ow if there is anything else yo u want to know -
HI and welcome,For the mobility part "moving around" then it's outside on flat even ground that counts, not inside your home.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
