What is the proper name for an automatic wheelchair?
October 23rd, 2010I’m doing a drawing for someone and in the picture he wants me to draw a fully paralyzed man in his wheelchair. The wheelchair is the type in which you only use your hands to move it electronically, as if your hand is controlling it using a joy stick. I don’t know if I’m explaining it well but I need a proper name for it because I’m trying to find some reference pictures but I can’t find any wheelchair pics that use only the hand to control the wheelchair rather than the whole arm such as turning the wheel manually.
Help please, he needs the sketch asap. Thank you!
