Episode 40 - Choosing Your First Ultralightweight Wheelchair: Key Features and Lifestyle Fit

In this episode of Wheelchair Nerds, we discuss what to look for in a first ultralightweight manual wheelchair with insights from Rachel Fabiniak, a physical therapist by background, and Cody Verrett an long-time industry expert who has previously worked as a provider. They cover the importance of keeping in mind topics such as the rehabilitation process after an injury, potential changes in functional ability, weight of the wheelchair, frame type (folding or rigid), and the need for adjustability. Listeners will also learn how lifestyle factors—like cooking, outdoor activities, or keeping up with kids—impact the right choice of wheelchair, helping new individuals pick the wheelchair that best supports their daily lives.
