additional_description: Manual wheelchairs are propelled by the occupant, most commonly by turning the large rear wheels. The occupant may move the wheelchair by pushing on the handrims, which are made of circular tubing attached to the outside of the large wheels. The handrims have a diameter that is slightly less than that of the rear wheels. Foot propulsion of the wheelchair by the occupant is also possible for occupants who have limited hand movement capabilities or simply do not wish to use their hands for movement. Foot propulsion can provide an opportunity for the occupant to exercise their legs to increase blood flow and limit further disability.
