What is a self-propelled wheelchair?
A self-propelled wheelchair is primarily designed to be powered by the person using it. They have large rear wheels, making it easier for you to push yourself along. You can usually still use these chairs like a travel wheelchair and have them pushed by a carer or relative, where necessary, but they're designed to make it easier for you to get around under your own power.
How could a self-propelled wheelchair help me or a loved one?
The larger rear wheels on this type of chair can mean that it's easier to get over lumps and bumps than you may find with a transit or transport wheelchair.
Who might benefit from using a self-propelled wheelchair?
Someone with a mobility issue that is hampering their everyday lifestyle may find a self-propelled wheelchair useful in helping to get themselves around. Self-propelled wheelchairs are a cheaper option because they allow you to get around easily, making them an easier alternative to electric wheelchairs.
Can you push a self-propelling wheelchair?
Yes, it is possible to push a self-propelling wheelchair. In fact, self-propelled wheelchairs are often designed to be pushed if or when your loved one is unable to propel the chair themselves.
How do you use a self-propelled wheelchair?
This depends on your ability, your mobility level, and the model of your self-propelled wheelchair. It may take some practice to get the hang of using a self-propelled wheelchair, but with time and patience, you will become more proficient at manoeuvring the chair. We offer amazing wheelchair accessories to make your time in a self-propelled wheelchair as easy as possible.
Is there anything I should be aware of before buying a self-propelled wheelchair?
