View Full Version : Manual Wheelchair Suggestion

I am looking for a manual wheelchair to get out for long walks on the streets and sidewalks now that spring has arrived.

The chair is for Gail who HATES (if that word is strong enough) her power chair. We have a light travel chair and a typical Hospital style manual chair but I would like a "Power Walking" or sport chair that is comfortable for Gail. Something with decent sized wheels that don't get jammed in sidewalk cracks.

I need the excersise and Gail needs the fresh air.

Any suggestions?

Have you asked Chris Forty at ALS Ont. Tim? She's usually up on all the innovations and they might even have one in the closet.
