Millions of disabled persons rely upon wheelchairs to increase their mobility and allow them to pursue a more independent and productive life. A wheelchair can spell freedom for a person unable to move with ease about their world. If you can remember getting a first bike or car, you'll be familiar with the feeling a new wheelchair can bring. There are as many wheelchair types as there are wheelchair needs.

Automated power chairs and manual push chairs represent the high and low end of wheelchair types. Individual buyers can custom tune a high tech chair's range of features to best fit their needs. Wheelchair bound computer users will appreciate an available feature on some high tech chairs that controls a computer mouse. Users who want to speed their trip to the dinner table might find the speed controls on high tech chairs to their liking.

Wheelchairs that have the capability of reclining will make long hours spent in a wheelchair more comfortable. A variety of devices are available for chair control. The needs of the user will determine whether hand, sip and puff or in some cases a headrest touch pad controls are most appropriate. People with a wide range of disabilities feel liberated by the capabilities of these chairs.

For wheelchair users committed to remaining active in sports, manufacturers have created sports chairs. The design of sports type wheelchairs makes them less than suitable for daily use. Wheelchairs designed for sports like racing, tennis, basketball and badminton make athletic activity possible for the disabled. Many varieties of sport chairs are made by Spin Life, a leader in the field.

Disabled users who can't sit or walk will find that a wheel bench makes life easier. By hand pushing the wheels of a wheel bench while prone, the disabled person can move the bench much like they would a wheelchair. A wheelchair purchase requires some shopping around. The type of chair you purchase should be closely linked to individual needs and your budget.

A wheelchair is a major purchase which should be undertaken only after comparison shopping and careful consideration. Wheelchair manufacturers are frequent topics of consumer reviews. Spend some time reading them before you buy. A "test-drive" of the chair that's being considered for purchase is a great option if the manufacturer provides an equipment test center. There are many products to choose from, and one size doesn't fit all--if possible, it's prudent to try before you buy.

There are quite a large number of large and first-rate wheelchair manufacturers: Pride Wheelchairs, Sunrise Wheelchairs, Invacare Wheelchairs, Permobil Wheelchairs,  Colours in Motion Wheelchairs, Quickie Wheelchairs, and Millennium Wheelchairs.
