Choosing a powerchair can involve many different considerations. From where the chair will be used to seating functions, positioning needs and everyday priorities, there is rarely a one-size-fits-all solution.

To make exploring the Quantum Rehab powerchair range easier, we have introduced the Quantum Product Navigator, an interactive tool available on the Quantum Rehab Australia website Homepage.

Designed to help users, families, clinicians and assistive technology professionals explore suitable options, the Product Navigator asks a series of questions before suggesting Quantum powerchairs that may align with the selected requirements.

What Is the Quantum Product Navigator?

The Quantum Product Navigator is an online powerchair exploration tool designed to help narrow down the Quantum Rehab range.

Rather than searching through individual powerchair specifications one by one, users can answer a series of questions about their needs, environment and priorities.

The Navigator then provides relevant Quantum powerchairs to explore further.

It is designed as a starting point for learning more about the different options available within the Quantum range and can help users become more familiar with the features that may be important when discussing power mobility with their clinical or assistive technology team.

How Does the Powerchair Navigator Work?

The Product Navigator takes users through eight questions relating to different aspects of powerchair use.

These questions help consider factors such as:

• The environments in which the powerchair may be used
• Seating and positioning requirements
• Power seating functions
• Everyday mobility priorities
• Powerchair features that may be important to the user

Based on the selected answers, the Navigator suggests Quantum powerchairs to explore.

From there, users can learn more about individual models, compare relevant features and access information about finding a Quantum Rehab dealer.

Understanding Power Seating Requirements

For people requiring complex rehabilitation technology, the power base itself is only one part of the overall solution.

Seating and positioning can play an important role in supporting posture, pressure management, function, comfort and access to everyday environments.

The Quantum Product Navigator therefore considers power seating requirements when helping narrow down potential options.

Depending on the individual powerchair, available functions may include features such as posterior tilt, power recline, seat elevation and anterior tilt.

Not every powerchair or seating configuration supports every function, which is why understanding these requirements early in the exploration process can be useful.

Explore Different Types of Quantum Powerchairs

Quantum Rehab offers a broad range of complex rehab powerchairs designed for different users, environments and clinical requirements.

The Australian Quantum range currently includes power bases such as the Edge® 4, Edge 3 Stretto®, Edge® 3, Q6 Edge® 2.0, Q6 Edge® HD, 4Front® 2, 4Front® 2 HD, R-Trak®, Outback® 4x4, J623 2.0 and Quantum® 1450.

Some powerchairs are designed around manoeuvrability and indoor access, while others may place greater emphasis on outdoor performance, stability, higher weight capacities or specialised seating configurations.

The Product Navigator helps make these differences easier to explore.

A Useful Starting Point for Clinicians

The Navigator can also be used by occupational therapists, physiotherapists, assistive technology professionals and other clinicians who are researching power mobility options.

It provides a quick way to explore which Quantum power bases may align with particular requirements before investigating individual specifications in greater detail.

For clinicians looking for further information around power mobility, seating and clinical considerations, Quantum Rehab also provides educational resources through the Q-ED Hub.

The Product Navigator and Q-ED Hub can be used together as part of the research process, providing both product information and additional clinical education resources.

Why We Created the Quantum Product Navigator

Complex rehab powerchairs can be highly configurable, and understanding the differences between models can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Our goal with the Quantum Product Navigator is to make the first stage of that process easier.

By answering a few questions, users can begin narrowing the range and identifying powerchairs worth investigating further, rather than needing to understand every specification from the outset.

It also provides an opportunity to learn more about the terminology, seating functions and powerchair features that may form part of conversations with a clinician or Quantum Rehab dealer.
