Wheelchairs are in many sizes, shapes and varieties to meet the diverse needs of a multitude of users with differing levels of physical function and varying interests. There is a wide variety transport, standard, lightweight, heavy duty and reclining hospital wheelchair for all types of need, including the disabled, handicapped, elderly, and invalids.
