Mobility and multiple sclerosis

One of the major worries people have when diagnosed with MS is that they will become reliant on a wheelchair or scooter to get around. In fact, the majority of people with MS will not become severely disabled.

Many people with MS choose to use wheelchairs or scooters from time to time or to do certain things, perhaps because of symptoms like fatigue or weakness, or to conserve energy. People often find wheelchairs and scooters can give them more freedom rather than less.

In this film, poet and composer Reggie Greaves talks about the importance of independence in day-to-day life and the difficulties he faced securing the right wheelchair for himself when he ended up needing one.
