Wheelchair Types For Prosthetics

WHEELCHAIR TYPES FOR PROSTHETICS STANDARD MANUAL WHEELCHAIRS A standard manual (self propelling) wheelchair is your basic chair. It has two small wheels in the front and two large ones in the back. These large wheels enable the user to push themselves on their own. Standard wheelchairs are fully collapsible making them easy to travel and stow away. LIGHTWEIGHT MANUAL WHEELCHAIRS These wheelchairs are much lighter in weight making it easier to transport them from place to place. These versatile chairs may also include the option of a quick-release wheel removal and/or an adjustable-height back. process, HEAVY-DUTY TRANSPORT CHAIRS Some chairs are built for transport and not self- propulsion. The rear wheels are typically close to 12-inches in diameter. Seat width for the heavy- duty version is typically in the 20-inch to 24-inch range. SPORT WHEELCHAIRS Sport wheelchairs allow users to have excellent manoeuvrability, play basketball, rugby, tennis or stay active as their heart desires. These sport wheelchairs are very customizable so that the user can choose the options that suit their specific needs. Thing PEDIATRIC WHEELCHAIRS Smaller frames that typically support a maximum weight of 250 pounds. Chairs designed for children are set a little lower to the ground, so the handles in back on some chairs have the capability of telescoping so that the adult manoeuvring the wheelchair can reach the handles comfortably. ottobock.
