Self propelled wheelchairs




Manual wheelchairs are Self Propelled wheelchairs. They usually have two big back wheels, with outer handrims - so you can easily get to them and push yourself around. And two smaller front wheels which make it easier to move in whatever direction you choose.
There are two types of wheelchair within this category. The first is the active user and the second the standard user wheelchair. The active user wheelchairs are those that can be adjusted to meet the needs of the individual user and are typically used most of the day. They tend to have more options for adjustment and fitting to ensure maximum comfort. The second type of self-propelled wheelchair is referred to as a standard wheelchair. These standard wheelchairs are often depended upon on a daily basis being used for most of the day.
