The Paraglide automated repositioning system for wheelchair users from MacKenzie Healthcare Technologies is the latest in assistive devices that change the way people are repositioned in wheelchairs in residential, hospital and care settings.
With Paraglide’s patented technology, a wheelchair user can move easily from a slouched position to an upright position with the touch of a button – safely, independently and with dignity.
That’s why we offer clients the opportunity to visit our locations and get a true sense of any given product. Motion isn’t a place. It’s a partnership, and a promise: we work with you to turn our products into possibilities.
In certain cases, a client may choose to provide payment upfront, in full, before funding has been approved. That means Motion can proceed with ordering their equipment. But, don’t forget: most funders will only pay the amount approved after the date of approval. If the client asks Motion to order the equipment before receiving funding approval, the client will be responsible for paying the full amount of the equipment to Motion if the application isn’t approved.
Remember: a client may choose to bridge the gap between application and delivery of their final equipment by making the most of Motion’s rental equipment and repair service offerings.

frequently asked question products
Motion provides the complete equipment required for evaluation during the clinical assessment and equipment selection process. Our focus is always on the importance of fit and function. A client’s therapist and one of our Motion consultants will work with you to schedule mutually agreed upon dates and times for you to test equipment that is equivalent to the prescribed device. Keep in mind, we don’t leave equipment behind during the clinical assessment and equipment selection process. Once funding is approved (or in select cases, payment in full has been received), we’ll order and ultimately deliver the device.

Applications can be submitted to the funding body directly by your authorized therapist, or through Motion on your therapist’s behalf. Motion provides quality control for funding applications. We review the application for clerical errors (e.g. missing signatures, missing responses to required eligibility questions, etc.) as well as inconsistencies between the device the authorized therapist has prescribed and the prescription details on the application form.
Our dedicated team of education leaders also provides learning and development opportunities for authorized therapists to enhance their knowledge and application accuracy. That’s one way we help ensure that equipment is getting to clients as quickly as possible.
