Yes, ambulatory transportation is often an excellent option for passengers recovering from injuries or surgery who use crutches for temporary mobility support. Individuals who can safely enter and exit the vehicle with minimal assistance may qualify for ambulatory transportation while traveling to medical appointments, rehabilitation sessions, or follow-up visits.
Informing the transportation provider that you will be using crutches helps ensure appropriate accommodations are available during your trip. Drivers may assist with boarding and storing mobility aids when appropriate.
Reliable transportation allows patients using crutches to attend important healthcare appointments safely and comfortably.
