The power and the manual wheelchair are the 2 varieties of wheelchairs. Both wheelchairs have disadvantages and merits. The manual wheelchair is further divided into, the rigid frame and the folding frame manual wheelchair. The folding wheelchair can be folded together (wheel against wheel) for easy compact carrying.
