Additional Information

Chairs are technical aids that promote the transfer of people who have permanently/ totally or partially lost the ability to move.

There is a wide variety of wheelchairs available. A fundamental classification is the one that distinguishes according to the size of the wheel. Chairs with large rear wheels allow people who have sufficient arm strength to self-propel themselves. If you do not have such autonomy to move, a chair with small rear wheels will suffice.

If the chair is to be used mainly at home, a chair with small rear wheels is recommended, as it is more manageable indoors.

It is also important to assess the weight the chair will have to transfer. It will depend on the material with which the chair is made. Aluminium is the lightest material.
