This is quite a simple one. We never stop learning, and we never stop adapting our recommendations to new shifts in the field. A great example of this: prescriptive powerchair drive configurations.

Enhanced suspension in mid-wheel drive powerchairs is revolutionising the market. This has been so important across all the major powerchair manufacturers. The quality of suspension with this mid-wheel drive powerchair type has come a really long way, to the point where, unless there are more specialist needs, they are usually the obvious choice. Because nowadays, a lot of mid-wheel drive powerchairs can be effective hybrids and do indoor and outdoor performance well. A knock-on effect of this is that there is a lot more diversity of function coming up in this drive configuration than there used to be.

This is a prime example of the sort of development in the prescriptive sector, which Nexus are all about staying on top of. But Nexus, naturally, couldn’t be further from a one-size-fits-all approach. One of the advantages of having the assessments carried out is that end users don’t generally find themselves having misconceptions as to what they can expect from a particular product. With the sums of money which are involved, this is extremely important. And that is something which Nexus care a lot about – getting product and user matched correctly.
