A wheelchair is defined as a chair mounted on wheels that is used by persons who have impaired mobility, often caused by disability, illness or injury. There are many different types of wheelchairs, such as manual, electric, transport, sport, airplane, beach, ergonomic, bariatric, pediatric, reclining, reclining or tint, standing, etc.
Disability etiquette, per the Office of Disability Rights, notes that assistive devices, including wheelchairs, should be respected as personal property and, unless given permission by the user, not moved or touched. Many wheelchair users consider their assistive device as an extension of themselves. However, wheelchairs can look like basic medical equipment and, thus, not exude the users’ unique personality. That’s why many wheelchair users choose to accessorize and beautify their assistive device.
