What is a Basic Foldable Wheelchair?

A basic foldable wheelchair is a lightweight, user-friendly mobility aid that can be easily folded for transport or storage. These chairs are ideal for temporary mobility issues, post-surgery care, or travel. Despite being called "basic," they often come with essential features like brake locks, footrests, cushioned seats, and easy-to-fold frames.

They're commonly used in homes, hospitals, clinics, and by individuals with limited mobility who don’t require advanced features.
