The wheelchair user

As a wheelchair manufacturer, INVACARE makes every effort to supply a wide range of wheelchairs to meet the many different user requirements. However, the final decision on the type of model to choose rests with users and qualified health advisers.

Proper use

The proper use of the wheelchair is dependent upon medical advice, in accordance with the clinical profile of the user’s illness or disability.

The wheelchair is designed for use indoors and for outdoor use. Please observe the requirements of the relevant road traffic licensing legislation.
