A reclining wheelchair is similar to a light weight wheelchair but has the added feature of being able to recline the backrest. Reclining wheelchairs allow paralyzed people to move into a fully reclined position for laying or sleeping purposes. It is important for people to be able to change their body positions frequently throughout the day. Those who are not paralyzed go throughout the day in numerous positions such as standing, squating, leaning, sitting and laying down. Being able to position yourself in such various ways prevents certain things such as body sores and muscle aches. However, if you are stuck in one position too long, regardless of the position, the body will have negative effects such as body sores. Therefore, having a wheelchair that allows you to adjust your position is the best option for your health.
