Many long-term care facilities will only employ manual chairs in their fleet if they are already in the appropriate category (K0001,K002, etc). These chairs are typically extremely basic, and often have limited function in terms of seating and self propulsion. It is essential to promote a greater range of manual wheelchairs as part of this fleet so that clients are able to get more durable and functional chairs. For a self-propelled chair be efficient, the drive wheels must be within reach of the client, therefore it is often better to select a larger diameter front drive and push-rims. The rear wheel's placement should be optimum for the wheelchair to be able to climb the steps or curb. If the wheelchair is designed with a rear wheel placed too far back, this could cause instability and tipping. A well-designed chair must include an X-frame underneath the seat for expansion.

It is also essential to think about the setting in which the wheelchair will be utilized. This includes the floor, the internal doorways' dimensions, the heights of utility, work surfaces, etc. It is also important to consider the things they're trying to do in their surroundings – do they need to go over steep ramps or over curbs? Will they be using their wheelchair to explore national parks or beaches?

This lets the user determine their ideal seating arrangement and ensures stability. Many clients choose to propel their wheelchair using just one hand and one foot. This is usually performed following a stroke, when one side of the body is affected. In order for this to work the seat-to-floor height should be low enough to allow the client to reach both rims using their hands. Some customers prefer to drive their wheelchairs in circles. This is more complicated and requires more effort. The seat-to floor height of the chair should be lower so that the client can grip both rims and push them together. Some people use their feet to push their wheelchairs over long distances. To do this effectively the chair should have a low floor-to-seat height and a adequate foot strength. Some customers will opt to get a wheelchair with large outdoor tires that allow them to use it on sandy beaches or national parks for example. It is also important to think about the location of the rear wheels on these chairs. If they are set too far back, it could be difficult to balance them and make them more likely to tip over.
