Manual wheelchairs are best suited for people who have strong arms or have an attendant available. Manual wheel chairs need to be steered by hand by user or pushed from behind by attendant and will need the person to be physically able for it, however they are easy to maintain and store. Optional methods also include levers and pedals to move the wheelchair by foot. Some top brands in manual wheelchairs are Medmobile, Roll Mobility, Drive Medical, Invacare, Medline and Nova.
The Medmobile Transport folding manual wheelchair with dual handbrakes, padded arm rests and detachable foot rests is a major hit because of its versatility.
