Stability
Anyone who has chronic mobility issues must make a major choice when it comes to selecting the best wheelchair.

In these situations, a lightweight, self-propelled chair might be the best option.

A highly adjustable rigid wheelchair can be used to change the position of the rear wheels to decrease the angle of shoulder of rotation, increase the access to the push rim and decrease energy demand during wheel-chair propulsion (WCP). This can also improve posture by extending vertical reach over the seat, reducing the humeral flexion, shoulder rotation, head-forward position, and the reduction of posterior pelvic tilt in comparison to traditional configurations.
A well-configured wheelchair and seating system can help reduce the pain caused by poor posture, improve the capability to propel manually, extend functional mobility and aid in rehabilitation. It is important to remember that the shoulder isn't an extremely strong or stable joint and that the body is working against gravity and the forces of WCP when it's necessary to self-propel.
