Common types of wheeled mobility devices include manual and powered wheelchairs, as well as powered scooters. Each type of technology will benefit from different aspects ofrepparttar 135460 curb ramp design. For example, most powered mobility devices are maneuverable in small spaces due to their short wheelbase.
