Wheelchair accessories are as diverse and may be as unique as their riders.Wheelchair accessories allow wheelchair occupants to customize the wheelchair to fit their specific needs for day by day living, leisure and work.
Wheelchairs users, in order to be mobile and independent, need to be able to push themselves without having to juggle whatever items they're carrying with them. Wheelchair accessories are not only comfortable and convenient, but they also make a real difference in helping a wheelchair user retain independent mobility.
Wheelchairs can also be fitted with accessories which are not just comfortable but can serve a medical purpose. Cushions and flaps can be placed on the armrests of the chair to provide comfort and also to prevent clothing from being caught in the spokes. Backrests are comfortable and can also be designed to correct posture. People who spend a lot of time in a wheelchair can be at risk for suffering pressure sores, which can be a serious problem, with a risk of deadly infection if untreated.
