HCPCS Code K0001: Standard Wheelchair

Spinal cord injuries, neuromuscular disorders that affect the lower extremities and mobility, severe lower extremity weakness, severe balancing issues, total inability to walk or inability to walk safely on their own, or post-surgery recover that prevents the patient from walking.

It's important that this wheelchair is properly fitted because if it isn't, the patient might feel discomfort and run the risk of having poor posture whenever they're seated. Prolonged use of the wheelchair might lead to skin irritation, skin breakdown, or worse, the development of pressure ulcers. Another thing to take note of is that it's possible for the patient to strain their arms and hands whenever they use this wheelchair.

It would be best for them to get a power wheelchair since that kind of wheelchair has a controller. And it's electricity-powered.
