AB  - Canes,  walkers,  crutches,  manual  wheelchairs,  power  wheelchairs,  and  scooters  are  examples  of  mobility  assistive  equipment  (MAE).  Power  wheelchairs  and  scooters  are  referred  to  as  power  mobility  devices  (PMDs).  The  first  section  of  this  chapter  reviews  the  basic  components  of  manual  wheelchairs,  power  wheelchairs,  and  scooters.  Included  in  this  discussion  are  criteria  used  when  prescribing  a  mobility  device  and  documentation  requirements.  Also  discussed  are  the  types  of  wheelchairs  used  by  patients  who  have  had  a  stroke,  spinal  cord  injury  (SCI),  or  amputation;  those  who  are  obese;  as  well  as  pediatric  patients  with  cerebral  palsy.
