A folding wheelchair is a good choice for occasional use as they can easily be folded and stored when not required or being transported.As the rear wheels will usually be removable then it can be stored in a very small space. But this type wheelchair is ideal for the odd day out or a person who can’t walk for too long. By buying a motor for the wheelchair can make hill climbing a lot easier.A folding wheelchair can range from anywhere between 15-20kg

Folding wheelchairs are available in many different sizes, but often do not offer the specialized features that a prescribed wheelchair can offer to you. For others where its use is more it’s recommended to look for a wheelchair with comfort and maneuverability in mind rather than the cost. These type of wheelchairs will not be folding models but a more rigid wheelchair with a lightweight frame and wheels, and possibly come with a more specialized back, seat cushion, foot rests and arm rests.

Wheelchair users who lead active life and might play sports will require a different chair all together. These won’t be the heavy folding wheelchairs but a sports wheelchair will be constructed from titanium which is stronger and lighter than aluminum. The style of foot rests will be different as the foot rests will be built into the frame. The wheels on some rigid wheelchairs can be pushed inwards so that they lean towards the user to provide more responsiveness. These very lightweight wheelchairs are utilizing a lot of technology and techniques from mountain bike manufacturers. Indeed, some of these rigid wheelchairs resemble a mountain bike more than a traditional wheelchair, and depending on the model and specifications may only weigh 15-17lbs / 8Kg.

The process of choosing a wheelchair can be complicated and the manufactures will provide a prescription for some models. This is a step by step method of choosing the right wheelchair, based on the user’s condition, daily activities and any other special requirements.

Whatever style of wheelchair you choose, a wheelchair cushion will be recommended; this improves posture, comfort and can help to prevent pressure sores.
