Racing Wheelchairs and Their Design
Racing wheelchairs (Figure 27.2(c)) are designed to go fast, but chairs designed for speed suffer from a lack of maneuverability. There are many rules that govern the design of racing wheelchairs for national and international competition, and care must be taken to ensure that racing chairs do not contravene the rules of the competition in which they are used. Racing wheelchairs are constantly and rapidly evolving, and the interested reader should see LaMere & Labanowich's 1984.
