Can I push myself in this wheelchair?

Absolutely! I tried it out myself before I gave it to my father. The actions on all of the chair is very smooth and the chair itself is quite comfortable.

Don't know much about wheelchair models but if it's a chair you should be able to sit and pedal with the chair locked In place. It can also be used on a tabletop to strengthen arms and upper body.

If you are asking if you can use this to lift someone from a wheelchair, yes. You have to get the sling under the patient in the proper position, attach the loops and slowly pump the handle. The same technique can be used in the reverse slowly lower the person in the chair. It works because the bottom legs of the unit can spread fairly wide, sliding them to either side of the chair. I hope this helps.

Yes, you just push in a spring-release metal button and pull the arm up. When transferring my wife from a chair to the wheelchair (and later back to the chair) we always remove the arm and lock the front wheels. I also do the same when transferring her in and out of the car too. FYI - when collapsing the chair to put in the car's trunk, we usually just leave the arms attached.

Yes you can. Although I have two bilaterally, which allows stability on both sides to hoist yourself up from seated position. The springed feet allow you to place and keep cane feet compketely on floor as you push off even at an angle which is often the case as cane will be taller than seated height and the angled position will give you good traction. Lifting from seated to standing is one of my main uses to help w lower deficits. Note as w any cane including this great one - the user needs good upper body control to support weight from sitting standing

Yes if this person still has some mobility, capable of not pushing back, little resistance. It is really just a transport chair not a heavy duty wheelchair.

Yes, you can. That's how I use it. Use a straight backed chair and go to work!

I used it for my father who weighed 145 lbs, and about 5ft 9. It is called a transporter chair because it is good for someone pushing someone else. Does not have large back wheels for self pushing. Very easy to handle and fold. I bought an extra gel cushion, also by drive. I think it should work for you.

I just got back from a trip which required my mom to push me over brick sidewalks which were often uneven and cracked. I weigh 160 lbs. She pushed the equivalent of one block on straight path. It was okay but doing an incline was more of a problem. Also, it not a traditional wheelchair but it was better than walking with a regular walker.

Yes. Just reach back and move it into the position you want. No need to get out of the chair.

I would have to say No, you can't use the machine that way really. You have to pull the row handles toward yourself, then you have to push them back away from yourself but there is no real resistance to the push. The pistons only give resistance when pulling toward yourself. I hope this answer is helpful.

Great question, it is possible to get a wheelchair in into this blind but it can be a bit of a challenge. You would need either stake the door open very wide or physically hold them open. Overall, I think you'll be ok. Just practice going in and out with the chair so you don't jeopardize your stealth. Happy hunting!

No A wheelchair is a different size and weight, and has much bigger wheels. Even if you managed to line them up and attach the clips, I would guess it would be quite unstable.

Yes you can, you will need to purchase the set of resistant bands so you have more flexibility with workouts.The chair is best for someone with a disability or in fragile condition, not steedy on your feet.Good luck.

A normal wheelchair, yes, but I would seek another solution. This is not well made.

In my opinion; YES, but lock the wheelchair in position and place Aerobic pedaler in front of you at a comfortable distance to pedal from.I modified mine a bit by fastening rubber feet so they could not turn over with drilling a hole in the top of them and using a sheet metal screw through them into the metal pipe, but I believe a good adhesive would work as well. They were a nuisance to keep flat on the floor otherwise.

The backpack hangs maybe an inch below the top of the back of the wheelchair, so as long as you have the flexibility to twist around sufficiently and reach your arm down about 6 inches, you could retrieve these things from the backpack. You can test this in your wheelchair before you buy...I hope it works out for you.
