Ultimate Guide to Buying the Right Wheelchairs

Manual wheelchairs are one of most demanded mobility products by our clients. These chairs are essential for those with reduced mobility who, in most cases, are dependent and need another person to take them from one place to another, either with a self-propelled wheelchair or a non-self-propelled one. It can happen that the user may not need external help when moving the chair with the wheel rims (self-propelled wheelchairs). For more differences and features, you can read on.
