Even simple considerations like the width of doorways, the height of utilities/work surfaces, and the terrain that which a wheelchair is expected to travel on can impact the chair's performance. A lot of long-term care facilities will only utilize manual wheelchairs in their fleet that are currently in a particular category (K0001, K002, etc). These chairs are usually simple, with a little in the way of seating and self propulsion. It is important that a greater variety of manual wheelchairs be included in this collection, so that customers can choose chairs that are more durable and functional. For a self-propelled chair to be efficient, the drive wheels must be within reach of the user and therefore it is best to go for larger diameter front drives and push-rims. The rear wheel's position must be optimal for the wheelchair to climb an incline or step. If the wheelchair's rear wheel is placed too far to the left, it could cause instability and even tipping. A well-designed chair must include an X-frame underneath the seat for growth. This will ensure that the chair remains comfortable and is able to adapt to changing requirements over time. A frame that is lightweight for a self-propelled chair is also crucial because it makes the chair overall lighter. This means that one can move the chair with less energy and is also more efficient at moving it around in vehicles. The same reason is why a reliable and sturdy brake system is crucial for both outdoor and indoor use. This will prevent the wheelchair from getting stuck or overturning when it is placed on an slope or uneven surface and should be able to operate with minimal effort. Other features, like holders or pouches for personal belongings, and weather guards to protect the chair from elements, can enhance the comfort and functionality of a chair as well. The Activity A person's strength, range of motion and muscle tone, as well as their the state of their orthopedics will determine if they are able self-propel a manual wheelchair or require an electric chair. It is also important to think about the setting where the wheelchair is going to be used. This includes the flooring, doorway widths, internal doors, height of utilities and work surfaces etc. It is also important to think about what they want to do with their environment. Do they require traverse steep ramps or curbs? Will they be using their wheelchair to visit beaches or national parks? If a customer is new to self-propelling, they will often require an extremely adjustable entry-level chair that is capable of a lot of post supply alterations. This allows them to work out their ideal seating arrangement and allows them to achieve the highest stability. Many people opt to use just one hand and foot to propel their wheelchair over small distances, most often following a stroke if they suffer from hemiparesis and a side of their body is affected. In order to do this successfully, the seat-to-floor height must be low enough so that the client can reach both rims of their wheel using their hands. Other clients prefer to move their wheelchairs in circles, which is challenging and requires much more energy. The height from the floor to the seat of the wheelchair must be lower so that the client can grasp both rims and push them together. Some people use their feet to push their wheelchairs over long distances. To be able to do this, the chair must have a low seat-to floor height and sturdy feet. Some clients will even choose to purchase a wheelchair that has large outdoor specialty tires to allow them to do this over sandy beaches or national parks for instance. The rear wheel placement on these chairs is vital, since if the rear wheel is too far back, it is difficult to balance and is more likely to tip over. If, however, the rear wheel is too forward it will make the chair feel unstable and can be a strain on shoulders and ankles.

They are less heavy and easier to maneuver than other kinds of chairs, making them perfect for those who want to keep their independence or have a new lease on life without relying upon others.

Some users use wheelchairs for daily mobility while others use them for social events or medical visits. It is important to consider how long you'll be using it.

Another factor to consider is the size and weight of the chair, especially if you'll be transporting it often or transferring it into the vehicle. Lightweight models can be much easier to maneuver, while larger frames can be able to accommodate heavier users. You should also look at the dimensions of the seat, and then evaluate its width, depth, and overall dimensions to ensure that it is comfortable for you.
