Manual Wheelchairs

If you are able to propel yourself forward without having to exert too much effort, you might do well with a manual wheelchair. This is a critical factor because if you tire easily, your speed will be reduced. Speed is essential when you’re operating a manual wheelchair, especially when crossing the street and in other time-sensitive situations. These models work best indoors and on flat, even surfaces. That’s not to say that you cannot use your manual wheelchair outdoors, but you will have to be aware of possible obstacles and approach them with caution.

Power Wheelchairs

You’ll find that power wheelchairs are a great option if manual operation is difficult for you. Fortunately, power wheelchairs are perfect for this because they don’t require too much effort and are easy to use. You’ll want to consider accessibility and portability when you’re investing in a wheelchair. For this reason, it’s important to consider the weight of a power wheelchair. These models can be particularly heavy so if you’re going to be transporting it, you might need an accessible vehicle to do so. There are also other obstacles you’ll have to navigate with care, like curbs and rough terrain.

Wheelchair Accessories

There are several ways to add comfort and convenience to your wheelchair. A few useful additions include storage, cushions, and desk space. While it’s not necessary to accessorize your chair, it can be extremely beneficial for you.
