Power on Maual?

Hi All

My son is now 16 and we have the dillema of wether to try and keep him in a manual chair or go for a power chair. Any advice?
I always thought that it would be better if he could carry on in a manual (more excersize) but now we're not sure if it's the right thing to do. He's going to have an assessment to see if he could handle a power chair.

Any advice from anyone who has been through this?

Kind Regards

Libbyt
