We recommend confirming the final data sheet before publishing or ordering.How to choose the right manual steel wheelchairChoosing a manual steel wheelchair must be made according to the user's weight, the width of the pool, the level of mobility, the ability to self-propulsion, the environment of use and the frequency of transport. For the Vermeiren 101, the choice of seat width is very important, as the product is available in several variants between 390 and 500 mm.A seat that is too narrow can create lateral pressure and discomfort, and a seat that is too wide can reduce postural stability and make self-propulsion difficult. Before purchasing, the overall width of the chair should also be checked, especially if the product will be used in homes with narrow doorways, small hallways or elevators.If the user will be pushed primarily by a companion, ergonomic handles, brakes, stability, and ease of maneuverability are important. If the user is self-propelled, 24” rear wheels, drive circles, axle position, and wheel access are important.If you need a standard, sturdy and practical model, the Vermeiren 101 may be a good choice. If the user needs a wheelchair that is lighter, more active or with additional adjustments, you can also consider Wheelchair V300, Wheelchair V500 Active or category of active wheelchairs.At MSN Life Services, we recommend pre-purchase consultation for manual wheelchairs, standard wheelchairs, and mobility devices.
