What are the different types of wheelchairs available?
Wheelchairs come in various types, including manual wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, sports wheelchairs and pediatric wheelchairs. Each wheelchair is designed for the specific needs of an individual, such as mobility level, lifestyle or terrain.

Manual wheelchairs are propelled by the user or an attendant, offering lightweight and portable options. Power wheelchairs use electric motors, controlled by joysticks or alternative controls. These are ideal for people with limited upper-body strength.

Regular maintenance of a wheelchair includes checking tire pressure, cleaning the frame, inspecting brakes and ensuring that all moving parts are lubricated. In case of power wheelchairs, check for electrical components regularly and keep batteries charged.

Yes, wheelchairs can be customized for the comfort and functionality of an individual. Options include adjustable seats, footrests, armrests, or custom controls for power wheelchairs to adjust according to individual needs.

Wheelchairs should be serviced every 6 to 12 months, depending on the usage. Regular checkups include inspecting brakes, wheels and frame integrity to maintain smooth mobility and functionality.

There are some wheelchairs designed for wet environments, featuring waterproof materials or rust-resistant frames. Always confirm the specifications of the wheelchair for shower or bath use.

Brakes and wheel locks are used to secure the wheelchair during transfers or when stationary, preventing unintended movement. Attendant brakes allow caregivers to control stopping power.
Adjustable armrests and footrests allow an individual for customized positioning to enhance comfort and support. They facilitate easier transfers and accommodate different body sizes, reducing strain and improving posture.
