Manual wheelchairs

Comfort Wheelchairs

The term "Comfort Wheelchairs" is a fairly general term to describe wheelchairs which are more comfortable than normal ones. The added comfort comes from extra padding and contours, and sometimes a reclining feature. The added comfort is to the detriment of the manoeuvrability of the chair as there is extra weight involved.

Comfort wheelchairs are especially useful for people whose disabilities are not accommodated by standard wheelchairs.
