• Desk-style armrests allow the user to access a
normal work surface but do not support the arms very much.
• Adjustable height armrests allow the user
to set them up so that they provide the maximum amount of support.
• Fold-up-fold-down/swing-away armrests
can be a good alternative to detachable ones, which can be
mislaid, for someone who requires a sideways transfer from their chair.
• Detachable armrests are good for reducing
the bulk of the wheelchair during storage and transportation.
