Whether you need a wheelchair for full-time or part-time use, our assortment caters to diverse needs and preferences. We prioritize delivering reliable, durable, and user-friendly wheelchairs to enhance mobility and enhance quality of life. Choose our standard-weight wheelchairs for their exceptional performance and ease of use.

The manual wheelchairs standard is designed to meet specific criteria, including:

• Weight: It typically weighs over 36 pounds.
• Specialized Seating: It lacks features to accommodate specialized seating or positioning needs.
• Weight Capacity: It is designed to support a weight capacity of 250 pounds or less.
• Seat Dimensions: It typically has a seat depth ranging between 15 and 19 inches and a seat width within the same range.
• Seat Height: The seat height is typically 19 inches or greater.
• Armrests: The wheelchair usually has fixed-height, fixed, swing-away, or detachable armrests.
• Footrests: It is equipped with fixed, swing-away, or detachable footrests.
• With these specifications, our standard manual wheelchairs offer stability, comfort, and functionality to assist individuals with mobility challenges.

Our standard Hemi wheelchair is a manual wheelchair that shares similarities with a standard one. However, it distinguishes itself with a seat-to-floor height below 19 inches, providing a lower seating position for added convenience.

Similarly, our standard reclining wheelchair is a manual wheelchair that possesses features akin to a standard or standard Hemi wheelchair. What makes it unique is its capability to independently adjust the backrest from the seat, allowing for alterations in orientation by modifying the seat-to-back angle and opening the knee angle with the leg rests.

For short-term rental or purchase, prior authorization is necessary for a standard manual wheelchair if the client meets the following criteria:

• Impaired mobility with an inability to walk more than 10 feet.
• No need for specialty seating components.
• No anticipated requirement for powered mobility in the next five years.

We prioritize effectively and efficiently meeting your mobility needs through our authorization process.

To qualify for prior authorization of short-term rental or purchase, a standard Hemi wheelchair must meet the criteria of a traditional manual wheelchair, in addition to a low seat-to-floor height requirement. Furthermore, the client should rely on propelling the wheelchair using their feet. We aim to accommodate your specific mobility needs with our authorization process.

These wheelchairs offer several notable advantages that many people appreciate:

• Ease of Transport: They can be quickly folded down for convenient transportation without the need for disassembling the chair.
• Enhanced Adjustability: They provide more adjustable features, such as swing-out leg rests, allowing for greater customization for the user.

2. What Is The Benefit Of A Wheelchair?

The primary advantage of a wheelchair is that it grants individuals with mobility challenges the ability to regain their freedom of movement. Through wheelchair use, users can participate in daily activities, accomplish tasks, and enhance their overall physical activity levels. It promotes mobility, independence, and quality of life, enabling individuals to engage in daily activities with ease and confidence.

3. Do Wheelchairs Have Engines?

No, conventional wheelchairs do not feature engines. They rely on manual propulsion by the user or assistance from a caregiver. However, motorized power wheelchairs are equipped with electric motors. These motors power the drive wheels, usually with two engines operating the wheels on either side of the power wheelchair, providing mobility and independence for individuals with limited physical abilities.

4. Why Is Wheelchair Assessment Crucial?

Wheelchair assessment is essential as it ensures the safe and effective use of a wheelchair by the user. Assessment evaluates factors such as the user’s physical abilities, postural support needs, and functional requirements. This helps in selecting the appropriate wheelchair model, seating system, and adjustments to optimize comfort, stability, and mobility. A comprehensive assessment ensures that the wheelchair meets the user’s specific needs, enhances their independence, and minimizes the risk of injury or discomfort.

5. What Are The Different Parts Of A Wheelchair?

A wheelchair comprises various components, including tires (solid rubber or pneumatic), wheels (spoked or molded), axles, casters, leg rests, and armrests. The tires provide traction and support, while the wheels facilitate movement. Axles connect the wheels to the frame, and casters aid in steering. Leg rests offer support and comfort for the user’s legs, and armrests provide support for the arms. These components work together to create a functional and comfortable wheelchair.
