Types Of Wheelchairs
The many types of wheelchairs allow wheelchair users can select a wheelchair with which they are comfortable and suits their needs. The wheelchair that a wheelchair user purchase is must match their physical needs and lifestyle.
When asked about the types of wheelchairs, many people would name only the two Main categories of wheelchairs: electric wheelchairs and manual wheelchairs. When using a manual wheelchair, a wheelchair user must use their arm strength to move the wheelchair forward. Manual wheelchairs are significantly less expensive than electric wheelchairs.
Since manual wheelchairs require arm strength, they are not suitable for all wheelchair users. Electric wheelchairs are powered by batteries and therefore do not require the wheelchair user to have significant arm strength. If a doctor feels that a patient needs an electric wheelchair, medical insurance may cover part of the costs of purchasing an electric wheelchair.
