Cross-sectional survey characterizing online peer-to-peer Marketplace listings for manual wheelchairs in Minneapolis, Minnesota
The abundant listings for manual wheelchairs on online peer-to-peer marketplaces represent a workaround to current barriers in access through traditional, regulated sources. While these options improve access to critical medical equipment in the short term, they mask underlying systemic issues and put vulnerable individuals at risk. Future directions could explore policies to improve access and regulation of online wheelchair sales.
