What is a wheelchair

A wheelchair is a mobility device that is designed to enable individuals who have physical injuries or disabilities to move freely indoors and outdoors. It is most commonly used by the elderly and those with walking impairments to improve mobility.

The chair can be propelled either by physically turning the rear wheel rims with your hands or with the help of someone pushing it from behind. An electric wheelchair on the other hand is propelled by batteries and is comparatively more expensive than manual wheelchairs.
