Lori,
is a beautiful, vivacious young woman with a wonderful,
positive outlook on life. At age 11, she was diagnosed
with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and today, at age
37, Lori has full adult onset Rheumatoid Arthritis,
and recently required bilateral hip replacements.
Lori is extremely creative and when she’s not
trying to keep up with her active 10 year old son, or
out shopping with friends, she spends her remaining
time and energy creating beautiful handmade jewelry.
Recently, Lori made the transition from manual to a
power wheelchair and is thrilled with the freedom and
independence it provides. In addition to her new wheelchair,
Lori was also introduced to our MaTRx™-V cushion
and MaTRx™ PB-Elite back. She loves the contour
and support of both the cushion and the back, which
allow her to sit comfortably in her wheelchair for long
periods at a time, as Lori’s busy lifestyle can
often mean ten or more hours a day! Her new cushion
and back combination also make Lori feel safe and secure
even when travelling over rough ground. Thanks to the
inherent adjustability of the PB-Elite Back, Lori’s
posture in the chair has also greatly improved.
Keeping up with an active 10 year-old is no easy task,
but thanks to Lori’s new-found comfort and mobility,
she is going to be able to give it her best shot!
