Mid-wheel drive powered wheelchairs

Mid-wheel drive powered wheelchairs (MWDs) have been extremely popular in the American and Canadian markets for the past few years. The drive wheels of this type of chair are positioned in line with or near the centre of gravity of the chair, while the drive wheels of other powered chairs are located towards the front or the rear. This characteristic provides greater manoeuvrability in confined spaces. In Québec, more and more people who need mobility aids have been applying for this type of wheelchair.
