Manual WheelchairsFor users who can propel themselves forward without exerting too much effort, a manual wheelchair is an excellent choice. It’s important to give this some thought because if you tire too easily, your speed will be reduced. Speed is essential in various situations, like when you’re traveling through a crosswalk. Manual wheelchairs are designed for indoor use on flat, even ground. This doesn't necessarily mean you can’t use your device outdoors, but you’ll need to be prepared to handle potential obstacles.

Power WheelchairsOn the other hand, if you need a bit of powered help, a power wheelchair is the better choice. This is especially true if manual operation is difficult for you. If you happen to have a condition that causes extreme tiredness or fatigue, you might lack the physical strength that’s required to operate a manual model. The good news is that power wheelchairs are a great alternative. Always remember to consider portability and accessibility before you choose a model. Power wheelchairs can be quite heavy, which is something to keep in mind if you’ll need to transport it.
