Accessibility is another important consideration when it comes to wheelchairs for stroke patients. Many homes and public spaces may not be equipped with ramps or elevators, limiting access for those who rely on wheelchairs. Advocacy for better infrastructure to support individuals with mobility impairments is essential. Ensuring that public venues are accessible can significantly enhance the quality of life for stroke survivors.

Pedestrian crossings also play a significant role in these standards. Traffic lights at intersections should have visual and auditory signals to guide individuals safely across streets. Curb cuts — the sloped edges of sidewalks leading to the road — are also necessary for seamless transitions from road to path for those using wheelchairs or other assistive devices.
