There are various types of wheelchairs available, ranging from manual to powered options. Manual wheelchairs are propelled by the user or an assistant, while powered wheelchairs are equipped with motors that allow the user to move with the push of a button. The choice of wheelchair depends on the individual's specific needs, abilities, and lifestyle. For some, a manual wheelchair may be sufficient for short distances, while others may require a powered wheelchair to navigate greater distances or more challenging terrain.
