Medical 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.
