Published by Permobil's clinical education team, the Wheelchair Handbook synthesises decades of rehabilitation engineering and seating expertise into a single accessible reference. It is written at a level that serves both first-time wheelchair users and experienced rehabilitation professionals seeking an evidence-based resource.
The handbook walks through the full equipment journey — from understanding different wheelchair types and drive controls, to seating and positioning principles, cushion selection for pressure management, and integrating power seat functions such as tilt, recline, and elevating legrests. Each chapter includes clinical evidence, practical guidance, and illustrative diagrams. The handbook is freely downloadable as a PDF.
Anyone navigating a power or manual wheelchair prescription, including people with spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, ALS, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, and stroke. Equally useful for family caregivers and rehabilitation professionals who need a reliable, independent reference on mobility and seating technology.
