I am getting a custom wheelchair for my connective tissue disorder. 

I'm getting a manual one with a power assist. I will be wearing a bracelet
on my right wrist that I use to start and stop the chair by tapping the rim
of the wheel. Any tips on using a chair like this totally blind? I have to
use my hands to steer the chair. The chair rolls by itself until I stop it
with the bracelet. Any tips for using my cane with this chair?

Thanks for any advice.
