The Decision trees were developed by David Quach (Occupational Therapist, [Aspire Rehab](http://www.aspirerehab.com.au)), who has many years’ experience in prescribing assistive technology. Like his fantastic Decision Tree for prescribing power wheelchairs, this decision tree can help a clinician determine whether a scripted or off the shelf wheelchair will suit, and again look at how to work out whether certain wheelchair features could be provided. We’re very thankful that David has generously allowed us to share this wonderful resource. The Decision Tree he developed for Power Wheelchairs is also available [here.](https://blog.gtk.com.au/a-decision-tree-for-manual-wheelchair-prescription) Stayed tuned for our next blog post where we’ll share the Decision Tree that David has developed for use when prescribing power assist devices. Your [GTK consultant](https://gtk.com.au/)can also help you through the manual wheelchair prescription process. Contact us today to see how we can be of assistance. ![Manual Wheelchair Tree](https://blog.gtk.com.au/hubfs/blob-3.jpeg) [![Get In Touch With Us](https://hubspot-no-cache-ap1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/4855549/b5649422-c4bd-4a45-ac97-db734c42de8c.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-ap1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/4855549/b5649422-c4bd-4a45-ac97-db734c42de8c) Search ### CATEGORIES - [Insider (4)](https://blog.gtk.com.au/tag/insider) - [manual wheelchairs (1)](https://blog.gtk.com.au/tag/manual-wheelchairs) - [Mobility Scooters (1)](https://blog.gtk.com.au/tag/mobility-scooters) - [power wheelchairs (3)](https://blog.gtk.com.au/tag/power-wheelchairs) - [Wheelchair (7)](https://blog.gtk.com.au/tag/wheelchair) ### RECENT POSTS ### TAGS - [Wheelchair (7)](https://blog.gtk.com.au/tag/wheelchair) - [Insider (4)](https://blog.gtk.com.au/tag/insider) - [power wheelchairs (3)](https://blog.gtk.com.au/tag/power-wheelchairs) - [Mobility Scooters (1)](https://blog.gtk.com.au/tag/mobility-scooters) - [manual wheelchairs (1)](https://blog.gtk.com.au/tag/manual-wheelchairs) ![Ashleigh Haskins](https://blog.gtk.com.au/hubfs/Ashleigh_Haskins.jpg) **Ashleigh Haskins** [More by Ashleigh Haskins](https://blog.gtk.com.au/author/ashleigh-haskins) Share Tags [![Read](https://blog.gtk.com.au/hubfs/GTK_October2018-Theme/Images/read-icon.png?t=1539529099080)](https://blog.gtk.com.au/a-decision-tree-for-manual-wheelchair-prescription) ### About GTK Because GTK provides more than just mobility, you will be purchasing the Ultimate Activewear.
