According to the different driving methods of wheelchairs, they can be divided into electric wheelchairs and manual wheelchairs.
A manual wheelchair is a wheelchair that is driven by the user's hands, pedals or a companion, and is divided into standard (adult) and small types. The pedals and armrests of the wheelchair are removable to facilitate the user to complete the transfer action. When there are good elbow extension and grip conditions, try to choose a manual wheelchair to avoid complications such as heart, lung, bones, and muscles caused by long-term use of electric wheelchairs.
An electric wheelchair is an electrically driven wheelchair, and its control methods include upper limb or hand control, breathing control, and mandibular control. The weight of an electric wheelchair is about twice that of a standard manual wheelchair. Electric wheelchairs are mainly suitable for users who cannot drive their own wheelchairs, that is, people who cannot extend their elbows and grip, or users who can drive their own wheelchairs but have limited driving time or strength.
