Wheelchairs
Manual wheelchairs
Manual wheelchairs are propelled by the rider or pushed by someone else. They range from dependable standard models to custom-built frames set up around one person.
Chair selection is a fitting decision. We help you compare options in person or by email.
Choosing manual chairs
Who this is for
- People who want to move themselves through the day
- Riders who want a chair set up around their body and routine
- People who want a simple chair with no battery to manage
- Caregivers looking for a chair that is easy to push
What to consider
- Seat width and depth, so the chair supports you comfortably
- Frame weight, especially if you lift the chair yourself
- Rigid or folding frame, and how it fits in your vehicle or home
- Terrain you cover most, indoors, outdoors or both
- Whether you will propel the chair, or someone else will push it
