The correct configuration and proper fit of an ultra light wheelchair are very important when it comes to a user’s overall well being. Like a pair of work gloves, if you find the correct fit for the size of your hand then more than likely you will be able to perform the job better and faster.
The same idea applies when it comes to wheelchair configuration, the more user-friendly the frame and components are, the easier it will be to propel the chair around and the more efficient it will feel when using it.
Someone who has been using a wheelchair for a long time will more than likely be aware of every adjustment and tweaks that their chair has undergone. These types of users are very adept at knowing their own set-up from the seat height adjustment to the back cane angle; they can be some of the wisest folks out there when it comes to wheelchair adjustment.
For this reason, it is a good idea to inquire with a long-term user what they would recommend as far as your set-up on a wheelchair. Sometimes one conversation can be enlightening enough to give you a good idea of what type of wheelchair and what adjustments you may need to make.
