A Wheelchair provides maximum mobility for seniors , individuals with a disablity, and is of great assistance for their caregivers as well. Although these people might be stricken with reduced mobility, it helps them to participate in everyday activities and carry out their daily chores with ease. The social life and mental health of the users are also benefited immensely with the use of a wheelchair.
Transit Wheelchairs
Transit wheelchairs can make a journey of a senior or a disabled person hassle-free regardless of the miles, destination, or mode of transport.
A transit wheelchair is usually propelled by a caregiver or assistant and has smaller back wheels in comparison to a self-propelling wheelchair, enabling the caregiver or family member to transport the wheelchair to the required locations.
In some instances, transit wheelchairs with larger rear wheels could be self-propelled, enabling the user to manoeuvre the chair by self.
