Question:What are the advantages of lightweight wheelchairs over standard wheelchair?
Answer:
Lightweight wheelchairs provide freedom to the user with the least amount of effort. Most frames and components are made from titanium or aluminum, so they'll weigh anywhere from 14 - 35 lbs. They reduce upper body stress and increase all around mobility. The only concern may be the maximum weight capacity but most can support up to 400 lbs.
