Wheelchairs

If you intend to propel yourself in the chair using push rims on the rear wheels, you will need to look at 'self propelling' wheelchairs which have large back wheels. Whilst these chairs are designed to be used by the chairs occupant, they normally have pushing handles on the back so that someone can push where needed. Indeed, the larger back wheels can be an advantage when being pushed up kerbs or over other obstacles. Some Manual wheelchair are now available in 16" x 20" (width x depth) and 18" x 20" (width x depth). These sizes are particularly suitable for tall thin people.
