Manual Reclining Wheelchair

 A Manual Reclining Wheelchair is a non-powered wheelchair with a backrest that can be manually adjusted to various angles. It is designed for users who need to change their sitting position for pressure relief, circulatory management, respiratory support, or comfort but do not require powered mobility. Key safety features include a robust locking mechanism, mandatory use of anti-tip levers and a seat belt when reclined, and synchronized elevating leg rests to prevent sliding. It is heavier and less maneuverable than a standard wheelchair but provides essential positioning options for individuals with specific postural and medical needs.

Orthopedic Wheelchair

 An Orthopedic Wheelchair is a specialized manual wheelchair with an extended frame and elevating leg rests, designed to support patients who must keep one or both lower limbs in a straight, non-weight-bearing position. It is primarily used for managing lower limb fractures, post-operative recovery (e.g., hip replacements), and conditions requiring heel-off-loading to prevent pressure sores. Its key safety consideration is a heightened risk of tipping backwards due to the forward weight of the extended leg, requiring cautious use, engagement of anti-tip levers, and awareness of its increased length during navigation.

Standard Wheelchair

 The Standard Wheelchair is a manually operated, folding or rigid-frame chair with two large rear wheels and two front casters, designed for basic patient mobility. It is used to transport non-ambulatory patients within healthcare facilities, support recovery from injury or surgery, and provide temporary mobility assistance. Key features include handrims for self-propulsion, attendant push handles, flip-up footrests, and wheel locks. As a fundamental piece of equipment in hospitals, clinics, and communities, it requires proper use of brakes and safe transfer techniques to prevent accidents.
