Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable condition that can affect mobility in different ways, from occasional balance issues to more significant challenges requiring assistive devices. At MobilityWorks, we understand the importance of maintaining independence for those living with MS and offer a range of adaptive vehicle solutions tailored to meet individual needs at every stage of the condition.

Understanding the Mobility Challenges of MS

MS symptoms vary from person to person, but common mobility-related challenges include:

  • Fatigue that makes walking long distances difficult
  • Muscle weakness or spasticity affecting movement
  • Numbness or coordination issues that impact balance
  • Changes in vision that make driving more challenging

As mobility needs change, so should the solutions available. That’s where our team of Certified Mobility Consultants comes in—to help find the right mobility solutions to fit your lifestyle.
