Simple, looks good, lightweight, right size
Reviewer: Nancy B. from Westland, MI
End User Desc: I needed this chair because of surgery. I'm 60 years old and am able to work with this aid.

Strengths: I am impressed with the finish on the chrome. Looks good. Easy to move around. Simple design - I didn't need any extras so this chair "silver sport" works for me.

Weaknesses: For my use, the "silver sport" is fine. If someone requires more features or more comfort, this might not be a good choice.

It is a very high quality wheelchair, but too heavy for me to handle
Reviewer: Dolores D. from Franklin, WI (caregiver)
End User Desc:

Strengths: Very well made, handles beautifully.

Weaknesses: The weakness is in the weight of the chair. I was hoping to be able to put it into the car to take my husband to the mall etc. but I have found I am not strong enough to put it into, or take it out of the car.

Great chair for the price as long as it's used on solid surfaces.
Reviewer: Aarron T. from Shawano, WI
End User Desc: Age: 32; Height: 6'3"; Physical Disability: Nerve Damage; Usage: Indoors/concrete - not for grass. This chair is great because its light and manuverab

Strengths: It folds nicely. The legs swing back /come off allowing you to sit at a table and not interfere with others "leg room." The arm rests come off allowing you to play guitar or a piano. It allows you to move in closer to anything which may set low.

Weaknesses: This is my fisrt personal chair, so I haven't had an opportunity to try many chairs other than heavy duty ones. It isn't quite as sturdy as the heavy duty ones, but really, I don't have any complaints. It is as advertised - I believe. The skinny wheels make it almost imposible to manuever on grass. Maybe I just need to develop more upper body strength.

Seat Depth1
Measure from the most posterior point of the body to the inside of the knee, minus at least two inches. Some prefer more leg overhang to make room for their hand when lifting their leg.

Back Height2
Measured from the seat base to the top of the wheelchair back. Depends on how much upper back support is needed, and also affects freedom for the upper body to rotate.

Rear Seat to Floor3
Measurement from the ground to the rear seat edge. Relative to the front seat-to-floor dimension, this determines the rearward slope ("dump" or "squeeze") of the wheelchair seat.

Hanger Angle4
Determines how far the toes extend away from the body, measured from the horizontal. A tighter angle allows the wheelchair to turn around in less space. Depends in part on ability of the knee to bend towards the perpendicular.

Seat Width5
Determined by the widest point of the body from knee to hip, plus an inch to ensure room to move. Consider bulk of clothing, particularly a heavy winter coat, if relevant.

Wheel Camber6
Angle of the wheel relative to the vertical. More camber improves stability and agility, but also limits ability to pass through narrow spaces. A typical daily wheelchair uses three degrees of camber.

Front Seat to Floor7
Measure the leg from the back of the knee to the sole of the foot. Then subtract the thickness of the cushion when it is compressed. Next, add a minimum of two inches for footrest clearance. Do not add the footrest clearance if the wheelchair will be foot-propelled.
