About Manual Wheelchairs
A manual wheelchair is a wheeled mobility device that is operated by hand. It was created with people with mobility, lower extremities, and spinal cord problems in mind. When walking is impossible due to accident, disease, or handicap, patients utilize wheelchairs. Depending on the patient's needs, numerous types of wheelchairs are available on the market. The market is primarily driven by the rise in diseases and conditions that cause incapacities to walk, such as tetraplegia, impairment, spinal cord injuries, and others. Furthermore, the manual wheelchair market is driven by growth in senior patients who are prone to walk difficulties, growth in obesity and cardiovascular disorders, and an improvement in hospital facilities for in-hospital patient treatment. The market for manual wheelchairs is predicted to grow as the older population grows. The rising frequency of spinal cord injuries among the elderly around the world is causing mobility concerns among them. Furthermore, rising rates of cardiovascular illness and obesity, a growing number of geriatrics at risk of walking difficulties, and improved in-hospital treatment and facilities are expected to propel the manual wheelchair forward.
