Everybody needs help with something, and whether we have a chronic health problem, a disability or are feeling the effects of advancing age, there are some things we may need support with. People from a wide array of backgrounds, with various different health needs, can have problems with mobility, and a significant amount of people rely on wheelchairs to help with increasing their mobility. According to a study from 2019 to 2020, there are 14.1 million disabled people living in the United Kingdom, and an estimated 1.2 million people who use wheelchairs, with two thirds of them using wheelchairs regularly.
The Importance of Manual Wheelchairs
Around the world, it is estimated that that 10% of people with a disability require manual wheelchairs according to the World Health Organization. Unfortunately, they estimate that at least 20 million people who need access to wheelchairs do not have one, and when they do, it is not appropriate to their needs. Even in the UK, the NHS found that many wheelchair users do not have the right size or shape of wheelchairs for what the need, and that half of wheelchair users will develop pressure ulcers at some point in their life which are related to having ill-fitting or badly equipped wheelchairs. If you need a manual wheelchair, it is important to get one professionally fitted and chosen that suits your needs and gives you the freedom of mobility that you need and want.
