The Evolution of Wheelchairs



Wheelchairs – The Evolution
By Ziggi Landsman


Many of us can’t help but  think of wheelchairs when spinal cord injury is mentioned. The two are so closely tied that they almost seem like one.

Granted, the relationship between user and wheelchair can be a love hate one. Cheers when the wheelchair is running right and jeers when it bums out.

The wheelchair, in some form or other, goes back a very long way and has obviously changed considerably over time. Years ago, the magic was not in finding the right wheelchair, but in surviving a spinal cord injury at all. Thankfully that scenario has changed over time.
