There are three different styles of armrests available in the Quickie Wheelchairs line up. These three different styles include flip back armrests, flip back height adjustable armrests and single post adjustable height arm. Be sure to consider the differences between these various options when making your final decision to purchase a Quickie Wheelchair. The flip back armrest comes standard on the 500, 510, 503 as well as 600 Quickie Wheelchairs models.

With this type of model the arm will flip rearward and is not at all detachable. If you need an arm that is adjustable in height as well as detachable, be sure to consider the flip back height and adjustable armrest. The most lightweight armrest is the swing away tubular arm; which will work on both rigid and folding Quickie Wheelchairs. This armrest is a good choice for individuals who need an arm that can be easily removed as well as one which will swing away for transfers. Most models of the Quickie Wheelchair lineup can be outfitted with the single post adjustable height arm. This is a very sturdy choice and can be attached.

It is also important to consider the possible options available in front rigging when considering the purchase of a Quickie Wheelchair. The 60 degree and 70 degree swing away hangers are quite similar; however, with the 70 degree hangar the legs can be positioned in a more rearward fashion.

The 70 V swing away hangar has a slightly more stylist look than many traditional riggings and includes a slightly tapered turning radius. The articulating elevating leg rest is a highly advanced option that will actually mirror the movement of the patient's leg. It will also extend when it is raised. This option is available with both the adult as well as the pediatric Quickie Wheelchairs.

One of the final options you should consider in the Quickie Wheelchairs lineup are the backrests. Quickie offers foam cushions in varying thicknesses, ranging from two inches up to four inches. The cushions include washable covers. Adjustable upholstery options are also available which will allow tension adjustable back supports to provide a higher level of comfort.
