Manual Wheelchair

What is Manual Wheelchair?

Manual wheelchairs often have big back wheels with an average diameter of 20–26 inches that the user pushes. These wheels resemble bicycle wheels. The hand rims, which are circular tubes attached to the outside of the big wheels, are used by the user to move the chair.

How much is a standard manual wheelchair?

The average cost of a typical manual wheelchair is $500, according to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. A regular chair can range in price from $1,000 to $2,000 depending on its features, which might include a customizable seat, different kinds of wheels, and a lightweight frame.

What sizes are wheelchairs?

Power wheelchairs start at 23 inches from the tire to the tire, whereas most normal wheelchair sizes run from 25 to 36 inches in width. The EmerDepot Mobility experts recommend that door openings be at least 32 inches wide. For the majority of individuals, a door with a 30-inch opening is more than sufficient for typical wheelchair access.
