Manual Wheelchair & Lightweight Wheelchair Suppliers

Find and buy a manual wheelchair from verified suppliers on MedicalSearch. A manual wheelchair is a mobility device that operates without the use of a motor.

Things to consider when buying a wheelchair:

• Size and dimensions - Size is a crucial factor to consider before choosing the right manual wheelchair. Make sure you have enough space to move your body within the seat, move your arms, or even rotate your upper body. Also choose the right size depending on the age, height, weight, etc. because a smaller chair can be quite uncomfortable while a larger one can cause a patient to slip out of it.
• Ease of storage and transportation - Look for a wheelchair that can be moved from one place to the other and lightweight enough to be folded and unfolded with ease. Ample arm and foot rests - Before you buy a manual wheelchair check out the arm and foot rests and try them out. The arm and foot rests should be robust and secure enough to accommodate your intended weight capacity.
• Back support - The amount of back support that a patient needs depends on the size, height, and the patient’s mobility. If you need a wheelchair that offers more back support, choose “tilt in space” wheelchairs that can be adjusted to fit different positions.
• Other important factors include - durability of the wheels, accessory options, servicing and maintenance, training and safety, materials used, and degree of dependence.
