Wheelchair Evaluation & Fitting Services

Ensure your wheelchair best fits you and your needs with a thorough evaluation at Burke Rehabilitation in White Plains, New York. Our Assistive Technology Practitioners (ATPs). can assess the seating and position of your wheelchair and other equipment—whether you’re new to using it or your usage has changed.  You’ll be more comfortable after getting the proper fit. 

Benefits of an Evaluation

• Ensure your wheelchair and other equipment is properly fitted

• Provide different products to try
• Familiarize you with our reputable wheelchair vendors and suppliers, who can also help with the assessment
