What Is A Dependent Wheelchair - #12
Mar 22nd, 2008 by emgra
Wheelchairs designed for transporting disabled people ( e.g at airports ) are very basic and need to be pushed by someone.
Wheelchairs that are designed to be pushed by someone other than the rider, are sometimes called dependent wheelchairs.
Devices are available for fitting to manual wheelchairs that enable the seats to tilt and recline. These positioning bases add quite a lot of weight to the wheelchair but do provide more comfort.
