Wheelchair/Pushchairs
The difference between Wheelchairs and Pushchairs is that wheelchairs come with big rear wheels typically 20" or more in diameter, with hand rims attached that allow the patient to sit on the wheelchair and self propel. Pushchairs do not, and therefore require a caregiver to push the patient.
