Comments

Specialised / customised manual wheelchairs are customised to meet an individual’s specific seating needs and not readily transferable to another individual.

Standard and Adjustable manual wheelchairs should be considered in the first instance.

Detailed functional assessments should be undertaken to determine need for, and the client and/or carer’s ability to operate manual wheelchair. Assessment of body dimensions and weight, functional skills, and home layout and access are essential in determining the safest and most appropriate wheelchair to be provided.
