The dimensions of a wheelchair vary depending on the type and brand of wheelchair. Some wheelchairs can fold up, so they are easily stored within the house or even transported in the trunk of a car.

Wheelchair dimensions vary depending on a number of different factors, and if you have unusual proportions you can request a custom wheelchair with different dimensions. Most commonly the dimensions are 19 inches for the seat height, backrest rising to 36 inches, armrests at 30 inches. The widest part of the wheelchair is 26 inches, and it is 42 inches long.
