wide variety of wheelchairs to meet many needs of the end user. However,
final selection of the type of wheelchair to be used by an individual rests solely
with the user and his/her health care professional capable of making such a
selection.

Invacare Top End recommends that wheelchair users NOT be transported in
vehicles of any kind while in wheelchairs. As of this date, the Department of

ferred into appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use be made
