Manual wheelchairs are divided into self-propelled wheelchairs and nursing wheelchairs. The self-propelled wheelchairs are pushed by the user, while the nursing wheelchairs are pushed by people other than the user. Of course, there are many wheelchairs that combine the two.
Self propelled
The user can control the rear wheel to move. The size of the rear wheel is mostly 20-24 inches. The larger the wheel is, the less effort is needed to push. This kind of wheelchair has good stability and can span steps with small amplitude. Because the overall width and size of the wheelchair are much larger than those of the nursing type wheelchair, the space size of the place of use, whether the door frame width can allow it to pass unimpeded, and whether it needs to take public transport should be considered before purchasing and using.
