A wheelchair is an essential mobility aid that can help you live more independently and continue to enjoy your favorite activities.

Wheelchairs come in a range of different sizes to meet your individual requirements and are often constructed of durable materials to ensure lasting performance. A basic wheelchair is perfect for those who weigh up to 300 pounds. It can be self-propelled or pushed by a caregiver when the energy levels are low.

Most standard wheelchairs feature two large rear wheels and four smaller front casters that are used for steering and stability. These wheelchairs are difficult to push, and can be a strain for both the user and caregivers. Because of this, they're more suited for short-term use or travelling.

Lightweight wheelchairs are constructed from lighter materials such as aluminum, and are usually more manoeuvrable than their heavier counterparts making them easier to push for caregivers and users. They're also designed to fold down compactly and can be easily transported in vehicles, making them an easy solution for everyday use or for travel.

The light weight of the wheelchair frame also makes it easier for users to move into and out of the chair, which is a common source of frustration for many. For even more ease of use there are features such as adjustable brake controls, simple seat height adjustment, and a simple folding mechanism that enables the wheelchair to fold in a matter of seconds.

User-Friendliness

Its appeal is mostly because of its simplicity of use. It can be difficult for wheelchair users to maintain their independence when they depend on others to get them places. You can shop, visit friends or pursue your passions and hobbies without requiring someone else to drive you.

Wheel size is a major factor in determining the ease of moving the wheelchair. Adult-sized wheelchairs have two large rear wheels, which range from 20 to 26 inches in size and are designed to propel the user, while the front casters tend to be smaller and are mostly responsible for steering and stability. The smaller front casters are simpler to push than the larger rear wheels because they require less force to travel over the same distance.

These advantages are for those who opt for the lightweight wheelchair. They are more mobile and can be utilized in tight spaces. This allows you navigate bridges and kerbs that would normally be an issue for regular wheelchairs. This allows you to access areas in your community or home that were that were previously difficult to access, such as cobbled or grassy surfaces.

You should also consider whether you will use the wheelchair on your own or with a companion. If you intend to to use the wheelchair for long periods of time without assistance from an attendant, Spinlife recommends selecting a Basic or Lightweight Wheelchair. If you'll be relying on an attendant to propel you, we suggest you think about the features of a Transport Chair or one of our Heavy Duty options.

They are easily transportable in the trunk of cars. They are also great for those who travel for long distances, as they can be folded into hotels and restaurants. The footrests of these chairs can be turned up or swung away from the way to facilitate safe transfers into and out of the chair.

Customisation

While wheelchairs come with standard features, there are many options available to adapt them to each user's preferences. For instance, certain models come with footrests that can be folded up or removed from the way, allowing for safer and more comfortable transfers into and out of the chair. Some models provide different armrests and seat heights that help reduce shoulder strain.

You can also look at wheelchairs with suspension. This is essential for those who spend much of their time in the chair, since it can reduce the vibrations that travel through the frame, which could cause discomfort. This also makes it more sturdy and able to handle a variety of terrains.

The suspension of a wheelchair also helps to reduce the effort required to propel them as they are more efficient in transferring energy through the wheels and transferring it into forward motion. This reduces stress for both the caregiver and the user of the wheelchair particularly when they need to push the chair for long distances or up steep slopes.

They are more affordable than conventional manual wheelchairs, which makes them ideal for people who are on a tight budget. However, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional, as they will be able to recommend the most suitable wheelchair for your particular needs.

Lightweight, ultralight and pediatric manual wheelchairs fall in the category of complex Rehab equipment, which means that they are typically recommended by a Healthcare Professional with ATP (Assistive Technology Practitioner) accreditation. They can analyze your needs, recommend the most appropriate equipment and then submit all the paperwork needed to secure the necessary funding approval for your new wheelchair. After your wheelchair has been ordered, it will be delivered to you to allow you to start using it immediately.
