Many models of wheelchairs address a variety of user need.
Manual push wheelchairs can meet some basic needs, but more high tech, automated power chairs are needed for others.
Chairs with a wide range of available high tech features enable the user to select those that fit their needs.
High tech chairs with speed controls allow users to choose a complete range of speeds between turtle slow and rabbit fast, many of these chairs even have features that allow a user to control a computer mouse from the chair.
A reclining option is a welcome comfort feature on some chairs.
Some chairs are controlled by hand, others by sip and puff, a touch pad in a headrest is also an option. The type selected is mostly dictated by the user's needs. These wheelchair types provide people with a wide range of disabilities a degree if liberation.

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. Researching manufacturers, by reading consumer reviews, is an important first step in finding the right wheelchair.
A "test-drive" of the chair that's being considered for purchase is a great option if the manufacturer provides an equipment test center. Shoppers who examine a wide range of options and try before they buy usually end up making the best buying decisions.
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.
