Akua is right. It's important to be fitted for a wheelchair. There are a
lot of measurements like how long from your back when you sit to where your
legs bend. How high the foot plate should be, the width you need, etc. A
good physical rehab should be able to recommend some one who can help you
choose what wheelchair is appropriate for you and to fit you for the chair.

I love my Quickie 2.
foam insert tires so i don't have to
worry about inflation
I use a Jay ez -- gel/foam cushion in it.
I remember trying a heavy medium and light chairs
and being told the differences when i was in the hospital….
the hospital chairs were just awful…..
It was fitted for me --- important part of
getting the right chair -- i remember all sorts of measurements and
observations
of how i sat etc.
Although my physiatrist says there are better options.
I had shared the free online webinar on chairs -- it was very good.
perhaps the transcript is available online if you google it.
