Our standard Hemi wheelchair is a manual wheelchair with features similar to a standard one. Still, it stands out with a seat-to-floor height below 19 inches, offering a lower seating position for enhanced convenience.

Our standard reclining wheelchair is a manual wheelchair that shares the features of a standard or standard hemi wheelchair. What sets it apart is the ability to adjust the backrest independently from the seat, enabling changes in orientation by modifying the seat-to-back angle and opening the knee angle with the leg rests.

For short-term rental or purchase, a standard manual wheelchair requires prior authorization if the client meets these criteria:

• Impaired mobility with an inability to walk more than 10 feet.
• No need for speciality seating components.

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

1. What is the benefit of a wheelchair?

The primary benefit of a wheelchair is that it enables individuals with mobility challenges to regain their freedom of movement. By using a wheelchair, users can engage in daily activities, perform tasks, and improve their overall physical activity levels. It enhances mobility, independence, and quality of life, allowing individuals to participate in daily activities quickly and confidently.

2. Do wheelchairs have engines?

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

3. Why is wheelchair assessment critical?

Wheelchair assessment is crucial as it ensures the safe and effective use of a wheelchair by the user. Factors such as the user’s physical abilities, postural support needs, and functional requirements are evaluated through assessment. This helps select the appropriate wheelchair model, seating system, and adjustments to optimize comfort, stability, and mobility. A thorough assessment ensures the wheelchair meets the user’s specific needs, enhances their independence, and reduces the risk of injury or discomfort.

4. What are the different parts of a wheelchair?

A wheelchair consists of various components, including tires (solid rubber or pneumatic), wheels (spoked or moulded), axles, casters, leg rests, and armrests. The tires provide traction and support, while the wheels allow for 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 parts work together to create a functional and comfortable wheelchair.
