Phrasing question

"The actress suffers from a grave form of osteoporosis for years, and is forced on a wheelchair." US English speaker here...I'd write it as "and is forced to use a wheelchair." "Forced on a wheelchair" sounds like she has to be manhandled into it. But I don't know her actual circumstances, or local colloquialisms. Morfusmax ( talk) 22:44, 3 December 2012 (UTC) reply
