Manual wheelchairs can be pushed by the person sitting in
the chair or by someone behind it. It's important to find
a manual wheel chair that is light weight, so you can wheel
yourself much easier for longer periods of time. Especially
if you don't have upper body muscles then you should choose
the lightest model possible. You will find the lightest chairs
to be 29 lbs - 32 lbs.
