Using a wheelchair

Custom-fit wheelchairs

Not all wheelchairs are created equal. There are standard models for temporary use, nursing wheelchairs with special storage options and wheelchairs for permanent use, which are adjusted to the person and their physical abilities. This has advantages such as fewer pressure sores, better posture and making it easier to get around. At Orthotec, wheelchair advisers work hand in hand with wheelchair engineering and the responsible therapists. Providing you with the right wheelchair for your daily life, work, sport and leisure time is important to us. You need to be as independent and as mobile as possible and “sit healthily” in the long term with your manual or electric wheelchair.
