Wheelchairs

Wheelchairs are a vital mobility aid that provides independence, safety and comfort for disabled individuals. Whether you need a manual wheelchair, self-propelling wheelchair, lightweight transit chair, discovering the right type of wheelchair can greatly improve your quality of life. Welzo have a wide range of wheelchairs to meet different needs, way of life and environments.

Types of wheelchairs available

Choosing the right wheelchair depends on your needs, level of mobility and intended use. Broadly speaking, there are three categories of wheelchairs.

Manual Wheelchairs

 A manual wheelchair is either a self-propelling wheelchair (with large rear wheels), or an attendant-propelling transit chair (with smaller wheels). Both can be used every day, they are lightweight, foldable and easy to transport.

Electric Wheelchairs

Powered mobility chairs offer more independence, especially for users with poor upper body strength. Electric wheelchairs have joystick controls, comfortable seating and long-lasting batteries.

Specialist Wheelchairs

You can buy bariatric wheelchairs, paediatric wheelchairs or reclining wheelchairs for users with medical conditions or intensive lifestyle needs.

Healthcare professionals, including occupational therapists recommend matching the chair to the users lifestyle. For example, active users may benefit from lightweight aluminium chairs, while users who need long-term comfort may prefer cushioned seating and ergonomic support.

Benefits of The Right Wheelchair

Choosing the right wheelchair has great benefits.

Increased Independence

Use is possible again. Mobility is restored, continuing with daily routines, the opportunity to go out and participate in social events, or return to work.

Better Posture and Comfort

High quality wheelchairs are developed using ergonomic consideration and reduce strain and risk of pressure sores while sitting.

Safety & Stability

Modern wheelchairs have built-in safety features; for example, anti-tip devices, reliable braking-system, adjustable footstep, etc.

In agreement with medical professionals: a correctly fitted wheelchair reduces the risk of developing secondary health issues and enhances positive mental well-being by promoting feelings of confidence and independence.
