Manual wheelchairs - backrest

- Dimensions

• The angle and height of the backrest affect the posture of the the user, and therefore their comfort if the chair is used for prolonged periods of time.

- Type

Folds backwards/forwards backrests facilitate storage and transportation.

Pushing handles are mainly part of the backrest but some are an optional extra.

Adjustable height pushing handles are practical for anyone who is pushing the chair as they can be adjusted so as to reduce backache.
