Frequently Asked Questions

Are there wheelchairs that can be used both indoors and outdoors?

Yes, many wheelchairs are designed for versatile use across different environments. Look for models with durable tyres, a sturdy frame, and excellent manoeuvrability to ensure smooth movement both indoors and outdoors.

What is the weight limit for most wheelchairs?

Weight limits vary depending on the model. Standard wheelchairs typically support between 100kg and 150kg, while bariatric wheelchairs are designed for higher weight capacities to accommodate additional support needs.

Can I take my wheelchair on a plane?

Yes, many manual and folding wheelchairs are approved for air travel. However, it’s always best to check with your airline in advance, as power wheelchairs may require special arrangements for battery transport and storage.

How do I maintain my wheelchair for long-term use?

To keep your wheelchair in the best condition:

  • Check tyres, brakes, and the frame regularly for signs of wear.

What are tilt-in-space wheelchairs, and who should use them?

A tilt-in-space wheelchair allows the entire seat to tilt backwards, helping to redistribute pressure, maintain posture, and reduce strain. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who spend extended periods in a wheelchair or require postural support.

Do all wheelchairs come with cushions, or do I need to buy one separately?

Some wheelchairs include basic cushions, but many users opt for pressure-relief cushions for extra comfort and support, particularly for long-term use.

How do I know if a power wheelchair is right for me?

A power wheelchair is ideal for individuals with limited upper body strength or mobility, offering greater independence. Key factors to consider include battery range, speed, and terrain suitability to ensure the best fit for your lifestyle.

Can I customise my wheelchair for better fit and comfort?

Many wheelchairs offer adjustable armrests, footrests, and seating options. Some models also allow for custom cushions, back supports, and additional accessories to improve comfort and usability.

How do I choose the right wheelchair size?

A properly fitted wheelchair ensures comfort, mobility, and ease of use. It’s important to consider seat width, depth, and height based on your body size and seating requirements. Consulting a healthcare professional can help ensure the best fit for your needs.
