Manual Wheelchairs

Invacare manual wheelchairs are designed to optimise convenience, comfort and performance

As the term suggests, the defining feature of the manual wheelchair is that it is self-propelled. In other words, it is driven and controlled by the user himself/ herself --or by a caregiver. The absence of a motor in these vehicles makes them relatively lightweight and simpler in terms of design, with folding and rigid models that afford adaptability and easy transport. Ergonomics are also essential in the selection of a wheelchair, and Invacare offers a wide array of specialised options for seats, backrests and support materials, which can be ordered in diverse measurements to optimise comfort. Not to be forgotten, style forms part of the equation in every case, with a choice of colours, a wide array of primary materials and different wheelchair size options, to suit the needs of each individual user.
