STRONGBACK Comfort : 24 Wheelchair

I got my Strongback 24 about a year ago. So this review is for about a year's worth of use. Basically, something happened and all of a sudden, not able to walk. Its permanent. So I won't get into detail, but my medical situation was bad. One thing I was absolutely forbidden to do by my doctors, was lift heavier things. This was tough, because I had partial mobility, could stand for a few moments. So the temptation was there for me to lift things beyond what I should. One thing they stressed was in choosing a wheelchair it had to be lightweight. I went to a DME provider and tried out several wheelchairs. There can be no question that I instantly fell in love with Strongback 24 wheelchair. UNREAL comfort. I felt that the chair was not even there! It was light as air. In my view, it was all me, and hardly any wheelchair, ya know? So my arms needed to build strength. Until I built the muscle up to be able to push for longer periods, this chair was so very easy to push. Eventually, my arm strength got better and now I can go pretty fast for a long while. But initially, it gracefully allowed me a lot of propulsion even though my arms weren't strong yet. I ended up in time, choosing to not use my footrests for every day use. It seemed best for me like that. But the foot rests are super comfortable. I do use them if, at a movie or something. I think an amazing feature of this chair is its foldability. It packs so easily that even my doctor's don't object. The BEST part? The backrest folds down! So awesome. Phenomenal for easy packing. Truly a great feature. The chair is so gorgeous in color. The design is really good looking and lightweight. I am about to take my first trip with it and am so excited. The chair is just so easy and uncomplicated. Personally, I will not ever own another chair other than the Strongback 24.

Customer was great, order delivered fast!

At last a very comfortable wheelchair that I can easily lift!! I am very independent and now I can stay that way. At 65, i'm not as strong and feel like i've lost a lot of my independence, not being able to walk. This chair gives some of it back and I love that!!! I value my freedom to be me ! Thank You!! M

am happy to have it

My wife is my helper and the versatility of this chair gives us both a renewed sense of freedom. She can easily and quickly remove the tires, leg rests, fold the rest of the chair and lift it into the back of our vehicle. I’m 85 and the lite weight structure makes it possible for me to manipulate the chair independently. The seat cushion and lumbar support are excellent support and comfort for my back.
