Exploring the lived experience of people using ultralight wheelchairs with on-the-fly adjustable seating function.

Manual wheelchairs with spontaneous, user-initiated seating adjustability allow users to independently adjust both rear seat height and backrest angle on-the-fly to optimize positioning for various activities throughout the day. This study aimed to examine the lived experience of users of wheelchairs with user-initiated seating adjustability and investigate the impact of this functionality in their day-to-day lives. This exploratory study involved eight participants who used manual wheelchairs with spontaneous, user-initiated adjustability.
