N2  - Motorized wheelchairs provide independence for individuals with a wide variety of severely disabling conditions. The benefits of powered mobility are widely appreciated. In this case report, one potential risk associated with motorized wheelchairs is illustrated by the accidental death of a young man with Duchenne type muscular dystrophy. Careful patient selection, anticipatory guidance and training should help minimize any risks.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
