A wheelchair can be a great help for people who are impaired in their ability to wal and enables them to actively participate in daily life. Wheelchairs are divided into different categories. There are standard wheelchairs that are meant for basic care and occasional use. Standard wheelchairs are also used for transport in clinics and care facilities. A lightweight wheelchair has a lighter frame and is usually made of aluminium. This makes it much easier to handle. Most wheelchairs are equipped with quick-release axles, so the wheels can be easily removed for transport and the wheelchair can be stored in a more space-saving way. As an additional option, the wheelchair can be equipped with a drum brake for the attendant. This additional brake allows the person pushing the wheelchair to brake the wheelchair. Multifunctional wheelchairs and care wheelchairs are used in the care sector and offer, among other things, a positioning and transport option for the patient.
