The Benefits of Having a Wheelchair

Wheelchairs can be a powerful support for any disability where the person experiences limited mobility and may have issues walking unaided – from age, disability, injury or illness. Some examples of disabilities and illnesses which may require the use of a wheelchair include: Alzheimer’s Disease, Cerebral Palsy, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Muscular Dystrophy, Parkinson’s Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Scoliosis, Spina Bifida, Spinal Cord Injuries, Traumatic Brain Injury, Diabetes, Amputations, and more. As well as helping a person to move, elderly people may require a wheelchair to reduce the risk of falling over whether they are at home or outdoors.

Types of Wheelchairs

When looking for a wheelchair for sale, NZ wide there are many different types and models to choose from, all with different features. The most important thing is finding the one that gives the user the most comfort, as well as the ability to move around with confidence. Some of our most popular options include self-propelled wheelchairs which are convenient, easy and simple to operate by the person in the wheelchair. These are great for those looking for a conventional wheelchair that needs to manoeuvre around small spaces (like in the home) - whilst still robust enough for them to propel themselves down the road. Transit wheelchairs are designed for pushing a person unable to propel themselves. They are sturdy enough to support users while being lightweight enough to fold up and transport. Whatever your need, with our huge range of wheelchairs for sale or hire, we can work with you to find the very best solution.
