Manual Wheelchairs

There are two types of manual wheelchairs, self-propelled and transit/ attendant propelled. Self-propelled wheelchairs have larger rear wheels with a push rim which enable independent mobility for the user. It also requires less effort if being pushed by an attendant.Transit/ Attendant Propelled wheelchairs, on the other hand, are the manual wheelchairs with the smaller wheels and handles at the back of the seat that the attendants use to push.
