What is a one-arm drive wheelchair?

A one-arm drive wheelchair enables propulsion, steering, and stopping using a single arm — ideal for people with hemiplegia, stroke recovery, or limited use of one limb.

Which is better: dual-handrim or cyclical lever?

Dual-handrim preserves the familiar push-rim technique and offers fine steering control, while cyclical lever drive uses a rowing motion that often reduces shoulder strain — try both to determine which fits your needs.

Can I order left- or right-hand configurations?

Yes — many models support left- and right-hand configurations. Check the product page for each model’s available handedness or contact our clinical team for help.

Are one-arm drive systems compatible with accessories like cushions or transfer aids?

Most one-arm drives are compatible with common accessories (cushions, transfer pads, swingaway legrests), but compatibility varies by model — see the product specifications or ask us to confirm for the model you’re considering.

How do I choose the right seat size and fit?

Seat size depends on body measurements and daily activities. Use our sizing guide or contact our clinical team with your measurements (seat width, hip-to-knee length) for personalized recommendations.

What’s the difference between a one-arm drive wheelchair and a standard manual wheelchair?

A one-arm drive wheelchair allows full propulsion and steering with one hand using a dual-handrim or lever-drive mechanism, while a standard manual wheelchair requires both hands for control. One-arm systems enable users with limited upper-body mobility to remain independent.
