A reliable wheelchair can make a world of difference for someone looking for assistance getting around. Mobility limitations can lead to negative health outcomes, a higher risk of falling and poor psychological health. In light of this, finding the right wheelchairs to increase mobility and improve quality of life is essential.
These days, there are many different types of wheelchairs available. Many wheelchairs have a maximum capacity of around 250 pounds, so they may not work for all individuals. However, bariatric wheelchairs are designed specifically to support a weight greater than 250 pounds.
