Want information on wheelchair history, we can help. There is a wide selection of stair lifts available that can be best suited for your needs. You can even customize your chair lift to different types of stairs whether it being steep, straight, curved or narrow. For those who do not need a full stair lift and still want the opportunity to climb staircases, motorized hand rail lifts are also available to assist them up the stairs for additional security. There are also perched stair lifts, this is different from traditional stair lifts because you are not required to fully sit on the seat, you are still able to stand and partially sit on the rest while ascending or descending. It also takes up less room on your stair case, perfect for narrow staircases, and economical.

Wheelchair basketball is a very popular sport, and you need to have a chair that can easily be maneuvered and stop on a dime. These chairs are smaller, and do not have any parts that stick out too far from the chair so that there is nothing to get in the way. They are also smaller and lighter in order for the players to react quicker. Wheelchair rugby is also very popular and chairs can be specially ordered for offensive positions as well as defensive positions. Although rugby is a very dangerous sport, there are safe wheelchairs available for this sport. Start by referring to our navigation menu to find more information on wheelchair history from our site.

This is a great tip, when assisting someone on their manual wheelchair, make sure all four wheels are touching the ground at all times. As the assister, try to avoid building up the wheelchair's speed for further control, using breaks often is a good idea. For smooth transitions in urban areas, use curb drops on people's driveways.
