Description
The ProBasics K2 Standard Hemi Wheelchair, 18 x 16 Inch Seat is a versatile mobility wheelchair designed to provide reliable support, comfortable seating, and adjustable positioning for individuals with varying mobility needs. Standard wheelchairs may not always offer the flexibility required for easier transfers, lower seat positioning, or customized daily mobility adjustments, especially for users recovering from injury, surgery, or limited lower-body strength. This standard hemi wheelchair features a dual axle system that allows smooth seat height adjustment to hemi-level positioning, helping users achieve easier foot propulsion and improved accessibility. The flip-back, removable padded armrests simplify transfers in and out of the wheelchair, while the tool-free elevating legrests provide adjustable lower-leg support for additional comfort. Durable vinyl upholstery resists mildew and bacteria while remaining easy to clean for daily use. Precision sealed wheel bearings, solid urethane rear tires, and multi-position caster forks help provide dependable maneuverability and long-lasting performance.
