Manual & electric wheelchairs in the Basel and Baselland region
Our own mobility is a commodity that most of us hardly appreciate. Only when this mobility is restricted do we realize what we are missing and how tedious everyday life can be. Wheelchair users know the problem and also know how much easier a good wheelchair can make in everyday life. So that you can retain your independence and enjoy the highest quality of life, our team at Basler Orthopädie in the north-western Switzerland region specializes in finding the wheelchair that best suits your requirements and wishes.

Electric wheelchairs & manual wheelchairs
The differences:
In order to restore mobility in everyday life, there are manual wheelchairs that are operated manually or electric wheelchairs. Both variants have their advantages and disadvantages and are each tailored to different needs. The most common model is a standard manual wheelchair. In contrast to an electric wheelchair, the manual wheelchair is operated manually and thus promotes the independence and strength of the respective wheelchair user. As the name suggests, power wheelchairs have an electric drive and do not require muscle power to be propelled. They have the advantage that they can also be operated by people who have to live with further cognitive limitations and are not able to operate a manual wheelchair.
No matter what type of wheelchair you need, it is particularly important to our team at Basler Orthopädie to give you mobility and to offer you holistic solutions that exactly meet your needs. You will receive detailed advice from us, during which you can also test different hand wheelchair models directly on site. Electric wheelchairs are available to order after our individual consultation. We also have rental wheelchairs and used models ready for you.
Hand Wheelchairs & Manual Wheelchairs
Various areas of application
Depending on the level of activity and lifestyle of a wheelchair user, there are models that cover different areas. Standard steel wheelchairs form the basis in the hand wheelchair segment. They cover the basic needs for everyday mobility and are also suitable for people who are temporarily confined to a wheelchair. For increased levels of activity and a mobile and independent life in a wheelchair, we also have active wheelchairs. These are particularly light, can be equipped in a variety of ways and are well suited for transport. There are increased demands on a wheelchair, especially in the nursing sector and in nursing homes. There are special nursing wheelchairs that ensure greater safety and stability. Children can also be temporarily or permanently confined to a wheelchair. Here we have various models of children's wheelchairs that meet the special needs of children and young people.
Questions & Answers about wheelchairs
Especially if you are only temporarily tied to a wheelchair due to an accident or other circumstances, it makes sense and is sustainable to rent or borrow one. Here, too, our team is happy to help you. You can rent wheelchairs at our business premises in Basel, which we can make available to you for a certain period of time. We would be happy to advise you in this regard over the phone or in person.
This question can hardly be answered specifically, because everyone who needs a manual wheelchair has different requirements for the device. For our team at Basler Orthopädie it is important to find out which model is most suitable for you and optimally covers your mobility needs. We would be happy to advise you personally in our business premises and cater to your individual needs.
Whether a manual wheelchair or an electric wheelchair is more suitable for you depends primarily on the degree of your physical impairment. Our primary goal is to maintain your mobility. We always make sure that your independence and the strength of non-impaired body parts are promoted.
If you want to buy a wheelchair, you can get it primarily from orthopedics or medical supply stores. To really buy a wheelchair that suits your needs, we always recommend consulting a professional. Our team will be happy to advise you on site in the Basel and Baselland area and will show you what is important when buying a wheelchair.
