Stout Vocational Rehabilitation Institute Wheelchair Clinic

The Stout Vocational Rehabilitation Institute (SVRI) will be holding a free wheelchair clinic on the second Tuesday of each month, with the next clinic coming up on Tuesday, March 11, 2014. SVRI technicians will be available to diagnose potential repairs and perform routine cleaning and maintenance adjustment procedures: tighten fasteners, check tire pressure, bearings and spokes, check wheel alignment, adjust seating and positioning of footrests and armrests, lubricate, evaluate seat cushions, and adjust wheel-locks. Appointments are not required; services are available on a first-come, first-served basis. This is a free service sponsored by SVRI. If technicians find significant repair issues, they will give you an estimate of the repair costs. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about your wheelchair, including the things that you can do to keep your chair working well.
