Attendant Propelled Wheelchairs

Attendant-propelled wheelchairs are typically lightweight and compact, making them ideal for short distances or temporary mobility support.
Key features of attendant-propelled wheelchairs include
- Smaller Rear Wheels: Unlike self-propelled models, these chairs feature smaller rear wheels, allowing for easier pushing by a caregiver and reducing the overall size, which helps in narrow spaces.
- Lightweight and Portable: These wheelchairs are often made from lightweight materials, making them easy to transport and store. Many models are foldable for added convenience.
- Attendant Brakes: Some models come with brakes or control mechanisms located on the handles, enabling the caregiver to safely slow down or stop the wheelchair.
- Ideal for Assisted Use: This type of wheelchair is best for users who cannot propel themselves and require a caregiver’s assistance for mobility.
Attendant-propelled wheelchairs are perfect for individuals who need assistance with mobility but still want comfort and ease of transport, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use
