Don't think of those as mutually exclusive.

i used wheelchair for comfort purposes to wheel myself to the bathroom to wash, brush teeth and shower and do that sitting down

otherwise during PT you do it with walker. but its exhausting and plenty enough for a whole day so for non-PT purposes - wheelchair

other patients in the institute never used wheelchair during the lengthening, but that would've been kinda too much for me walking 10 times a day to the bathroom just with the walker on top of PT.
your mileage may vary
