can this be used if you are sitting in a wheelchair?

I believe so just put it close enough to the chair. Shouldn't be a problem. I used a wheel chair in rehab and I can picture using it as long as the wheels were locked.

Yes it can. It can be used sitting in, depending on balance, virtually any chair.

I would think so. It would depend if the chair is high. But if your feet are able to touch the ground. It would work.

I wouldn't be able to use it sitting in my wheelchair because the peddles are too high and the peddles scoot away while in use. I wish I hadn't bought this.

I think this would work in any wheelchair just fine. Fortunately, if it doesn't fit your particular wheelchair, it is easy to return. Hope this helps!!

Hello, 1) only apply pressure in a scrubbing motion for specific stubborn spots (dried foods etc) 2) it is not heave, but the handle is not adjustable for height, I think you should be ok using from the wheelchair. 3) it unfortunately does not stand on its own because of the swivel head.

In my opinion; YES, but lock the wheelchair in position and place Aerobic pedaler in front of you at a comfortable distance to pedal from. I modified mine a bit by fastening rubber feet so they could not turn over with drilling a hole in the top of them and using a sheet metal screw through them into the metal pipe, but I believe a good adhesive would work as well. They were a nuisance to keep flat on the floor otherwise.

I don't see why not, but don't really know. I do know that one should not bear the cost for a whole new chair. Right now it is something that I have to check out for my regular wheelchair as the tread is all worn and it slips on smooth surfaces. On a transport chair I would think this could be critical as the person being transported has no control of the chair and the brakes don't seem to be as strong.

I imagine you could use it in a recliner; although I use mine exclusively for my wheelchair. The purpose of the Roho is to provide pressure relief when you are sitting for long periods during the day, as well as give you better stability and balance as you are moving (in a wheel chair). If you are looking for an air cushion (or doughnut) for your LazyBoy, there are cheaper alternatives to a $300+ (Roho) Quattro.

There is a screw-hole in the clic-gear unit that the umbrella holder threads into. So the holder would only work with a wheelchair if the wheelchair had the proper size screw fitting

Not in any way that I can figure out. Alternative: use 2 inexpensive folding canes. Stow them in a wheelchair backpack. Or for reaching them while seated, get one or two wheelchair wheel pouches. They do not interfere with your wheeling yourself. And you may find that you like them for other reasons. All available at Amazon.com.

I do not see why not. the pad is plugged to a cord that has a metal clip that needs to be attached to metal. Does the wheelchair have somewhere to attach a small alligator clip? best would be to contact manufacturer however or Dr. Sinatra.

I don't think it's designed to be attached to either a recliner or toilet. It has a bracket which attaches to a pole on your wheelchair.

If you want to sit close to the floor and maybe shave your legs this would work fine... But I wouldn't use it for a disabled person. I would think if I was shaving my legs and was sitting in the tub ... I would buy two of these because you can stretch your legs out more.

I believe it could. My son uses sometimes while sitting on an average sized chair.

Yes. I just used this model of Drive transport wheelchair for a 3-day weekend with my father. If you look at the photos, each side has a rubber-padded tube extending in the back just inside each rear wheel. You can push down on either one with a foot while you pull back the handles at the top with your hands. This helps lift the chair over a small bump or ridge. Just be careful! This isn't meant for off-roading. ;)

Kevin, I bought this for my mom to use with her wheelchair. It may work for you in your car as it is pretty comfortable and fairly thick. The only issue may be if your seat slants back. Since the cushion is all one thickness, your tailbone may be too low and the top of our thighs may be too high. It would all depend on what part of you might feel tired or uncomfortable after being in the car for a while. If you are able to adjust your seat though as I can with mine, it might work. It would definitely add cushioning and relieve pressure on your tailbone.

I haven't tried it but I can't imagine that they would work. The connection spots have to be parallel and I would think the wheel on the wheelchair would be out too far.

I don't see why not. It's a seat cushion that is the same size as the seat of an average wheelchair so it should fit a drivers seat. Just keep in mind it is 3" thick though.

I believe an elderly person could use this sitting in a chair, they just wouldn't get the same benefit as standing on it and walking in place that's all. They'd still be getting beneficial exercise regardless of sitting down.
