Handicap Wheelchair ClothingSome of the most popular kinds of clothing aren’t really items of clothing at all, but articles to keep you warm, such as blankets and shoulder wraps. When choosing clothing there are several key questions to help you make your selection: One important consideration for mobility chair users is a device that prevents your clothing from being caught in the wheels. Made of plastic, fiber, or cloth, these quarter-circle-shaped clothes guards fit between you and the rear wheels.The solid plastic variety are attached to the chair (usually manual wheelchairs) with hardware. One cautionary note: rigid clothes guards may prevent your wheelchair from folding flat. This is usually not a problem with the cloth variety. Finally, consider “clothing” for the wheelchair itself. Wheelchair covers come in sizes large enough to fit any wheelchair or electric scooter, and most are weatherproof, just in case you end up storing your wheelchair outdoors. Most covers will keep your wheelchair or scooter safe from wind, rain, and snow, as well as keeping it clean so it looks great next time you take it out.
