This  wheelchair  provides  the  option  of  adjusting  the  angle  of  the  seat  and  backrest  according  to 
every user's needs. The option of adjusting the angle of the seat and backrest brings more comfort 
to the user on the wheelchair. The adjustment of seat and backrest angle will need the assistance 
of an attendant.
