Types of Wheelchairs

• C.P Wheelchair
• A cerebral palsy wheelchair is usually an
  all-terrain wheelchair that can help you get out
  and about any place efficiently. Big wheels are
  positioned to the front of the chair and the user
  can propel 30 more efficiently than a normal
  chair. The bucket shaped seat provides perfect
  support and comfort while travelling.

• 2. Transit Wheelchair
• A transit wheelchair is also known as a transport
  wheelchair. Unlike the self-propelled wheelchairs
  that have large back wheels for propulsion, a
  transit wheelchair, uses smaller back wheels
  because they are used to transport. These types
  of wheelchairs are usually controlled by an
  attendant or by a care taker.

• 3. Motorized Wheelchair
• A motorized wheelchair is propelled with the help
  of a motor rather than manually. It is perfect
  for those who are unable to manually move around
  in a wheelchair. It is also useful for those who
  require going long distances which would be quite
  daunting in a manual wheelchair. It is prescribed
  to only those who are unable to use a manual
  wheelchair independently.
