Wheelchairs
Selecting the right wheelchair involves considering the user’s mobility needs, strength, and lifestyle. Choose between a manual wheelchair for those who can self-propel or have assistance, and an electric wheelchair for greater independence. Key factors include weight capacity, comfort features, and portability for easy transport. Consider terrain compatibility and any customizable options like reclining backs or added padding for comfort. The right wheelchair should provide mobility, comfort, and independence suited to the user’s specific needs.
