Self-propelled wheelchairs are a type of wheelchair that allow you to propel yourself forward with the use of your hands. These chairs offer many benefits over manual wheelchairs, such as being easier for some people to push and more maneuverable than other types.
Increased independence and self esteem because they are able to propel themselves. They don’t have to rely on another person or expensive equipment, which can be especially important in places where resources may not be readily available such as developing countries. * Improved physical health by being more active. Self propelled chairs allow people with limited mobility who otherwise would not leave their home due to transportation limitations get out into the world and take part in activities that they enjoy like going shopping or spending time outdoors.
