Types of wheelchair and accessories available
Self-Propelled Wheelchairs
Self-propelled wheelchairs are designed for users who can move independently. They are equipped with large rear wheels allowing users to push themselves using hand rims. These wheelchairs offer independence and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They come in various materials including lightweight aluminium models that are easier to manoeuvre. This type of wheelchair is best for people with the upper body strength to propel themselves.
Attendant Propelled Wheelchairs
Attendant-propelled wheelchairs also known as transit wheelchairs are designed to be pushed by a caregiver. These wheelchairs have smaller rear wheels making it easier for an attendant to manoeuvre through narrow spaces. They are lightweight and often used for short distances or temporary mobility support. This type of wheelchair is best for people who cannot self-propel and require assistance from a caregiver.
Travel Wheelchairs
Travel wheelchairs are lightweight foldable chairs designed specifically for portability. They are ideal for trips and can easily fit into a car boot. Travel wheelchairs are typically attendant-propelled and focus on being compact and easy to transport rather than long-term comfort. This type of wheelchair is best for users who need a portable wheelchair for travel or temporary use.
Powerchairs
Powerchairs or powered wheelchairs are motorised and controlled by a joystick making them suitable for individuals who cannot manually propel a wheelchair. These chairs offer a high level of independence and have various features such as adjustable seating reclining backrests and advanced control systems. Powerchairs are best for users with limited upper body strength or mobility who require motorised assistance. It should be considered however that powerchairs are often far heavier than manual wheelchairs and would require charging when not in use.
