The Standards Seat width is the most common measurement used to determine the correct size wheelchair to order. You may have noticed that wheelchairs are most commonly offered to consumers by the seat width. The industry standards are 17, 18, 20, 22 and 24 inches respectivelly for most of our chairs. However, chairs with wider seats are available. Also, a major factor in determining the type of wheelchair to buy is its weight capacity. Usually, manufacturers design wheelchairs so the wider chairs have more weight capacity. Some other factors are important when measuring - see the guidelines below to assist you in your shopping.

Seat width: (Measurement A) _____________________ The correct width is determined by measuring the width of the body from outside hip to outside hip while sitting. Be sure to add an extra inch to allow movement, and any extra width to allow for bulky clothing, if applicable. Seat depth: (Measurement B)_____________________ The correct depth is determined by measuring from the most posterior point of the body to the inside of the knee. Subtract at least 2 inches, to allow for relaxed posture, and consider that some may prefer more leg overhang to make room for their hand when lifting their leg for repositioning. Seat back height: (Measurement F)__________________ The correct back height is determined by measuring from the seat base to the top of the shoulder blades Based on your medical condition, you may require full back support. Most riders only require lumbar support, and the standard medium back height will work fine. Seat height: (Measurement C)______________________ The correct seat height is determined by measuring from the sole of the foot to the back of the knee. This measurement is used to determine where your feet will rest comfortably, without strain on your legs or back. This is the seat height in relation to the footplate or footrests.
