To provide safety and comfort wheelchairs are designed with a variety of features. For example, they often come with an adjustable lumbar support. This lets the user alter the height of the support so that it is more in line with their spine and can ease pain from pressure on different parts of their body, including the spine, coccyx and bottom.

However, the drawback to non-folding wheelchairs is that they will take up more space in the vehicle than folding models. This can be a problem for those who do not have access to a car that can accommodate a wheelchair in its trunk. Additionally, the weight of a non-folding wheelchair can be a challenge for caregivers to lift and move.

Folding wheelchairs on the other hand, are an ideal option for those who must transport their chairs frequently. They are usually designed with cross frames that can be folded which reduces their size and makes them easier to transport in an automobile.

The stop assembly is comprised of a pair side frame assemblies that are linked by a rotatable frame member. Each side frame assembly has a first stable position on one side of the linkage assembly's central line. The linkage assembly is biased toward the first stable position and is sufficiently resilient to retain the side frame assemblies in the deployed condition until the occupant selectively-manipulates the linkage assembly.

Advanced wheelchair users can remove their rear wheels from the chair while seated, making it easier to navigate doorways and other narrow spaces. It also allows them to change the tires for ones that are more appropriate to the new surroundings or if they're planning to take on more outdoor activities.

The different types of folding wheelchairs can be classified according to the direction of the hinge and axial surface and also their degree of tightness. (Gentle folds open folds closed folds; isoclinal folds recumbentfolds, overturned). Each category has a specific purpose and function that includes providing the ability to traction or prevent abrasion.

Some wheelchairs can be configured to tilt, which is beneficial for those with low sitting capacity who are at risk of developing skin ulcers.

Quick-Release Wheels

The quick-release wheel system reduces the weight and size of a travel wheelchair foldable when it is dismantled, and also permits simple inspection of the wheels and the installation of new tires. It is comprised of a small rod, called a skewer, that passes through the axle, and the cam lever which grips the wheel to secure it in the right position. The systems can be operated by pressing the lever with your fingers. There are two main types of quick-release axles: the standard one, and a larger diameter model that is threaded into the frame. It is known as a through-axle.

Make sure to adjust the skewer and the cam before using an easy release. The narrow end of the springs should rest against the axle ends and when you tighten the skewer it must fit in the recess in the inner face of either the cam or the adjusting nut, or it will be bent. It's easy to check this by spinning the skewer with the adjusting nut loose, and looking for an open wedge between the skewer's wide side and the locknuts of the axle's inner faces.

You may need to open the lever, and then close it using some force. The lever should leave an impression on the palm of your hand, and be firmly enough to secure the wheel.

Some quick-releases that are cheap have plastic parts inside the mechanism, which reduces the force you can exert to hold the wheel. Also, some cheap skewers are made of lower quality steel, and therefore could be more prone to corrosion.

The lever should be positioned in a way that it is flush with the frame, and has a curved form that stops it from snagging on anything. Even though it may appear as though the lever is securing the wheels, a protruding lever suggests that it isn't fully closed. If it is knocked into something, a wheel lever that protrudes can loosen. To avoid this happening, you should check whether the lever is secure and shut before each ride.

There are wheelchairs without armrests for those who don't wish to use them. They can rest their arms on the sides of the chair. This can make it easier to sit down at a desk or table. Some wheelchair users may find that armrests are too low and interfere with their independence.
