Manual chairs come in various sizes, shapes, weights, and colors. Picking out a chair is much like picking out a car. Your lifestyle, risk level, type of use, cost, and how good you want to look in it will determine your best match.
Some individuals have chairs for different activities.
The great advantage here is if you do not have the strength to push a manual chair, you are no longer limited to your immediate surroundings. Again, they come in all shapes and sizes, and differ from lifestyles and personal preference. There are chairs that can lay back, standup, change the height and position of the seat, move by joystick, mouth stick, chin, head, eye movements, and blowing. Many chairs come with a variable speed control switch allowing top speeds of up to 8 miles per hour. However, this does not mean that you can actually go that fast because factors already mentioned will have an effect on performance.
