manual wheelchair

There was a time when people were unable to walk. The health impaired massesRefers to people who were ill for the most partPeople forced onto sidewalksTurning corner after blind cornerSlim fingers reached outTo grab a helping hand And then they figured out mass production, et voila: the manual wheelchair. Now, anyone who had any kind of trouble walking could simply get up and go. For some individuals, this was a great start!

Long back, injured or people who could not walk were aided rolling chairs to move hither and thither. The only problem was that they were so heavy with the chairs inside and hard to push. This special chair was designed with three wheels and one smart man named Stephan Farffler created the first known version of it in 1600s. He was also capable of moving around much more freely in this new design and could even turn the wheels with his hands! It was a great improvement!

Choosing the right manual wheelchair for your needs

Another inventor, John Dawson in the 1800s developed it with large two wheels on each side and that we call as first wheelchair. This configuration aided its passage over rough and bumpy terrain. Still, there remained a challenge that some could not push this kind of wheelchair alone. They had to rely on the kindness of others for transportation.

There was no such thing as folding until a man named Harry Jennings invented the first lightweight, foldable wheelchair in 1932. This was a huge upgrade as it weighed less and became smaller in size for transportation purpose than before. And it was portable, so people could carry around!
