I am not sure if you realize this or not but there are many, many, many ECV users that are not "overly large". I had a very thin, good friend, with MS that used an EVC (she has since passed). We have a friend that lives near my parents (he was a stroke victim and he is a very small man), and he uses an EVC. I work with special needs individual, many with CP, and some with other issues (who are not big by the way) that must use EVC's. People with degenerative diseases, chronic diseases, osteoarthritis, and many, many other diseases have to use EVC's or wheelchairs when extended walking is involved... even if they do not use them 100% of the time. For many people their electric wheelchair, EVC, or manual wheelchair becomes "their legs". Seeing an EVC does not mean people are overweight, it means there is a medical issue that is happening/or has occurred. I do not know anyone that would choose to not walk, given a choice I bet anyone needing to use an EVC would gladly "give up" the EVC if it would mean they now had the ability to walk. Furthermore, even if someone is larger and uses an EVC it does not mean anything. A lot of times, people having to use an EVC have severe mobility issue and what comes with that? The inability to exercise, leading to a sedentary lifestyle, and making it extremely difficult to lose weight. I am simply confused
as to why you even included that little notation. Wow.
