To me, I understand what you meant when you were talking about the different wheelchairs that's not confusing to me at all. I've done playing research so I just know what they are, but I can see how it's confusing to others. My question is I'm trying to get fitted for a, custom ultralight manual wheelchair. The company tried to fit me for a ultralight custom wheelchair did not take all my measurements or it seems like it's not a full custom, but they semi custom ultralight wheelchair and it is a Ki catalyst 5 but my insurance only pays for a wheelchair once every three years and this wheelchair doesn't seem like it's going to completely fit my needs? What should I do?
Ok so I've gotten more interested in wheelchairs because I have CP, I'm not going to use the chair all the time but I'm a very petite person and a friend is pushing me to an ultralight chair rather then a standard because of the weight factor and my height, I'm not sure which I should get
The first one is a standard DME wheelchair with minimal adjustment opportunities. Custom manual wheelchairs have the adjustable axle and can be modified in every possible way.
@@SnowySpiritRuby You are right! That was a mistake and makes this video very confusing. We will redo the video to make it more clear. That first chair is a standard wheelchair.

Wait, so the one that has very little adjustment is a custom manual chair? Now I'm confused.

@@coexistat The video calls the first chair a custom chair, which is wrong.
