Wheelchair armrests are one of the taken for granted components of a wheelchair. Almost all wheelchairs, both manual and power, come with or can be fitted with armrests. Many wheelchair users consider them only a resting place for their arms. In fact, the wheelchair armrests play a much greater role than that.

| Wheelchair Controllers Help |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
The powered wheelchair controller and its associated modules and components serve as the command center for use of the wheelchair and its functions. There are two types of commonly used controllers found on wheelchairs today, integral controllers and modular controllers. Integral controllers contain all of the necessary components in one housing with the joystick. Modular controllers have separate components for the various functions and wheelchair controlling elements. Both will include a joystick or some type of user interface as part of the system. |

 |
Lateral trunk supports are also known as laterals, lateral supports, lateral thoracic supports, and trunk stabilizers. They are rectangular or square shaped devices that mount to the back posts of the wheelchair and rest against the user's trunk. Most often they are used in pairs, one on each side of the trunk. |

| Wheelchair Seat Depth Help |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
Wheelchair seat depth is measured from the front to back of the seat. To determine the existing size you need only measure the distance from the front edge of the seat to the back where the seat meets the back upright. This will give you a depth dimension of the existing seat. |

| Wheelchair Swing Away Joystick Mounts Help |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
A mounting arm for the joystick with an articulating (hinged) joint that makes it possible to swing the control away and back. Most models have a tension mechanism for locking the arm into the forward position. These items can be obtained from the wheelchair manufacturer or a number of aftermarket sources. Depending on the source there are slight differences in design. These devices are primarily used to allow powered wheelchair users to get closer to and under tables, desks, etc. |
