Wheelchairs are designed with numerous features to provide comfort and security. For instance, they usually feature an adjustable lumbar support. The user can adjust the support's height so that the support sits closer to the spine. This can help ease pain caused by pressure on various areas, like the coccyx or spine.

Quick-Release Wheels

The quick-release wheel system reduces the weight and size of a wheelchair when it is dismantled, and also permits easy inspection of the wheels or the installation of new tires. The system consists of a small rod referred to as a "skewer" which is passed through the wheel axle, and a cam-lever which holds the wheels to keep them in their place. The systems are operated by pressing on the lever with your palm. There are two main types of quick-release axles: the standard type, and a larger diameter model that is threaded into the frame and is called a thru-axle.

Before you use a quick release, be sure that the skewer and cam are correctly adjusted. The narrow end of each spring should rest against the ends of the axle and, when you tighten the skewer, it must fit into a recess within the inside of the cam or adjusting nut or else it will bend out of shape. You can test this by spinning the spring with the adjusting nuts in a loose position and looking for a wedge-shaped gap between the wide end of the skewer and the inside faces of the axle locknuts.

You may need to open the lever, and then close it with some force. The lever should be so tight that it leaves an impression on your palm and is sturdy enough to hold the wheel securely.

Some quick-releases that are cheap contain plastic parts that lessen the force required to clamp the wheel. Also, some cheap skewers are made from less-quality steel, so they can be more prone to corrosion.

The lever should be placed in a way that it is flush with the frame, and has a curving form that stops it from snagging on any object. Although it might appear as though the lever is securing the wheels, a protruding lever indicates that it's not fully closed. A lever that protrudes can become loose if it gets knocked against something. To prevent this from happening, you should check whether the lever is secure and shut before each ride.

Some are adjustable in the height to fit lap trays, while others might support one-sided arm supports for a clerical posture. Armrest pads are available in a variety of materials that include hard plastic, self-skinned composite or padding upholstery material. They are also available in a range of colors, including the standard silver vein.

There are wheelchairs with no armrests for those who don't wish to use them. They can place their arms on the side of the chair. This can improve the functionality and make it easier to sit at a table or desk as well as some active wheelchair users might feel that armrests can hinder their independence or cause them discomfort because they are too low.

If you're sitting in a chair without an armrest and the weight of your arms tends to pull your torso forward, which causes you lean and a slouched posture. Armrests take the burden off your shoulders and arms and allow you to hold items or support the tray using both hands.

Some wheelchairs have an armrest fixed in height that is not able to be turned up or taken off. This type of armrest is generally only used for transferring or to support a tray and may hinder transfers or cause discomfort due to being too low to give adequate arm support.

Other models of wheelchairs have removable rigging that is able to be removed when not required, and this could reduce the weight of the model to make it more convenient to move or transport.
