What is a standard wheelchair?

A standard wheelchair tends to be used more on a temporary or occassional basis, such as after a leg injury or when transferring a patient. Often quite simple in design, standard wheelchairs tend to have less adjustability, with only options such as the seat height or footrests that are adjustable. Standard wheelchair frames tend to be made from steel, which can also make them quite difficult to propel for long periods of time. Many standard wheelchairs are now made from aluminium instead of tubular steel, like the BREEZY RubiX 2, which is far easier to propel with considerably more adjustability options than you would normally associate with a standard wheelchair.
