Manual wheelchairs has many benefits over electronic or power wheelchairs. But then the final decision depends on the budget and the strength of the patients.

Unlike the popular belief, manual wheelchairs has many benefits over electronic or power wheelchairs. But then the final decision depends on the budget and the strength of the patients.

Both electronic and manual wheelchairs have their own pros and cons, so the patient would need to put in additional research by consulting your doctors, care providers, medical sales supply staff and all others who know you enough to advise you as to which wheelchair is for you. If the patient has the perfect mobility and strength, they should go for a manual wheelchair.

If you are thinking of getting a manual wheelchair, here are a few benefits that you might have over those with power wheelchairs:Manual Wheelchairs are easier to handle and maneuver as they are much lighter when compared to power chairs.Most of the manual chairs are portable, one could easily fold and move them. This is extremely useful for people who require a certain degree of freedom.Even if we look at Insurance, your Insurance Company would be more likely to cover your insurance costs without much hassle as they are more cost effective.

A Manual Wheelchair is best when moving in small places or where one needs to make small rotations or slight changes to the movements. These are ideal for people who live in small apartments, or the spaces that are filled with apartments.Manual Wheelchairs do not make any noise since they are not operated by motor or any electronic gadget, which is why it is more peaceful to those living with Health Equipment Store

Maintenance cost for manual wheelchairs is almost nill. Since they are not battery or electricity run, there is no need to pay electricity bills or face the costs of changing the batteries.Again, since there is no external power, it does not have a “working life”. one can use it to take it as far as one wants without it getting stuck in the middle.

One of the major psychological factor is that since one handles the manual chair oneself, it gives one a sense of freedom and control. But, look at the area that you are living in before making a choice. If you are living in a hilly area, manual wheelchairs for sale might not be a good option for you, but if you are living in city spaces, this might just be the best option for you.
