About our wheelchairs

Folding wheelchairs, whether self-propelled or attendant-propelled, offer a variety of benefits for individuals with mobility limitations. They can improve independence, access, and overall quality of life. Here’s a summary of their key advantages:

Enhanced Mobility and Independence

Increased access:

Folding wheelchairs allow users to navigate tight spaces and uneven terrain that may be inaccessible with a standard wheelchair. This means greater freedom to participate in daily activities, explore new environments, and socialize with others.

Improved travel:

Folding wheelchairs are lightweight and compact, making them ideal for travel. They can easily fit in car trunks, buses, and airplanes, allowing users to travel independently and explore new destinations.

Promotes active lifestyle:

For users who retain some upper body strength, self-propelled folding wheelchairs can encourage an active lifestyle. Regular usage can improve muscle tone, cardiovascular health, and overall well-being.

Convenience and Portability

Easy storage and transport:

Folding wheelchairs are quick and easy to fold and unfold, making them convenient for storage and transport. They can be readily stored in a closet, car trunk, or even under a desk.

Lightweight design:

Most folding wheelchairs are lightweight, making them easier to maneuver and lift for both users and attendants. This is especially beneficial for individuals with limited strength or those who travel frequently.

Versatility:

Some folding wheelchairs come with detachable wheels and removable seats, making them even more versatile and portable. This can be helpful for transferring to and from cars, buses, or other tight spaces.

Additional Benefits

Affordability:

Folding wheelchairs are generally more affordable than standard wheelchairs, making them a more accessible option for many individuals.

Variety of options:

Folding wheelchairs come in various styles, sizes, and weight capacities to accommodate different needs and preferences. Some even offer features like adjustable legrests, armrests, and headrests for added comfort and support.

Psychological benefits:

Regaining mobility and independence can significantly boost self-esteem and confidence, leading to a more positive outlook on life.

Self-Propelled vs. Attendant-Propelled

The choice between a self-propelled and attendant-propelled folding wheelchair depends on the individual’s level of upper body strength and mobility.

Self-propelled:

Suitable for users with sufficient upper body strength and coordination to propel themselves using the hand-rims. Offers greater independence and self-reliance.

Attendant-propelled:

Ideal for users with limited upper body strength or those who require assistance for manoeuvring. Attendants can push the wheelchair using the backrest handles.

Ultimately, the best type of basic folding wheelchair depends on the individual’s specific needs and preferences. Consulting with a healthcare professional or occupational therapist can help you choose the right one for you or your loved one.
