The wheelchair is for those who can no longer walk on their own. The first wheelchair that you could drive yourself was invented by watchmaker Stephan Farfler in 1655. The paralyzed man wanted to help himself with that. Until today the technology has changed enormously. In addition to various mechanical drive technologies, electric wheelchairs are also used. This is good for all those who not only have walking restrictions but are also unable to use their hands or arms to push a wheelchair forward. This makes them independent of third parties.The number of different wheelchairs currently on the market is large. In addition to the pure possibility of locomotion offered by the wheelchair, the sports wheelchair should be mentioned in particular. Compared to the usual wheelchair, it is equipped with a flatter backrest and slanted wheels. Often there is a support wheel on the back to prevent a fall backwards during sport. Another distinguishing feature of wheelchairs is the type of drive. Two are to be discussed here: A wheelchair can be advanced by using the hands on specially fitted handrims to generate thrust. Hand levers are another method of moving the wheelchair.
