Manual Wheelchair Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best manual wheelchair for everyday use?

The best manual wheelchair depends on your needs. Lightweight Karma wheelchairs are a popular choice for everyday use, offering a balance of comfort, durability and ease of transport.

Should I choose a self-propelled or transit wheelchair?

Choose a self-propelled wheelchair if you want to move independently. A transit wheelchair is better if a carer will be pushing you, as it is lighter and more compact.

Do I need a cushion for my wheelchair?

If you spend extended time in your wheelchair, a cushion is highly recommended. Options such as pressure-relieving cushions or Helping Hand Indicator Cushions can improve comfort and help reduce the risk of pressure sores.

What is an all-terrain wheelchair?

An all-terrain wheelchair, such as the G-Explorer, is designed to handle uneven ground like grass, gravel and countryside paths, making it ideal for outdoor use in rural areas.

When should I consider an active wheelchair?

You should consider an active wheelchair if you self-propel frequently, use your wheelchair most of the time and want a lighter, more efficient chair that reduces strain and improves mobility.

Can a wheelchair be made easier to push for carers?

Yes. Power assist devices from brands like TGA and Invacare can be added to many manual wheelchairs, providing powered support to help carers push more easily, especially on hills or longer distances.

Where can I try a wheelchair in Devon or Cornwall?

You can try a range of manual wheelchairs, including Karma models and the G-Explorer, at Unique Mobility showrooms in Exeter, Plymouth and Launceston. Free assessments are available.
