Manual Wheelchairs
For those who are able to propel themselves forward without exerting too much effort, a manual wheelchair is an ideal choice. However, this type of chair may not be suitable if you suffer from a condition that causes you to feel extremely weak and fatigued. Check out our Power Chairs if you think that describes you. Remember that your speed will be reduced if you have to use a great deal of effort to operate your manual wheelchair. There are many situations where speed is crucial, like crossing the street. Additionally, not all terrain you travel over will be smooth and even. These are all important factors to consider when deciding on what type of model will serve you best.
Transport Chairs
Instead of having two big rear wheels, transport chairs, sometimes called companion wheelchairs or just companion chairs, have four smaller wheels. This type of wheelchair is designed to be pushed by a caregiver with the handles attached on the back. These chairs come in many different sizes and colors to accommodate different people and styles. Most transport chairs come with foot rests and some even have adjustable ankle rests. In addition to having the ability to lock the wheels in place, transport chairs also have the ability to fold up for your convenience when traveling in a personal vehicle or public transportation.
Check out the Nitro Duet which doubles as a transport chair and a seated rollator! This is convenient for those who have the strength to self-ambulate while still having the option of a caregiver pushing them around in a chair.
Geriatric Chairs
Geriatric chairs, also refered to as ‘Geri Chairs’, are designed to help seniors with limited mobility. In comparison to transport chairs, these chairs are padded and generally larger which makes them more comfortable to lounge in. Most geriatric chairs have a wheel base to assist in transportation and can recline to provide maximum comfort. Some geriatric chairs include an attachable tray to help with activities such as eating or reading. Most of the time, these chairs are used in places like hospitals or long-term care facilities for people who may be recovering from surgery or residents that have a hard time supporting themselves in a seated position. Although these chairs are primarily used in professional facilities, they are often purchased for use at home.
Check out the Clinical Care Recliner geriatric chair! This chair includes a tray for eating or other activities like reading, and 4 five inch casters to help with relocating the chair. With the ability to shift into four different positions, you’ll never want to get out of it!
