A highly adjustable rigid wheelchair can be used to change the rear wheels' positions to decrease the shoulder angle of rotation, increase push rim access and reduce energy demand during wheel-chair propulsion (WCP). This can also improve posture by increasing vertical reach above the seat, reducing the humeral flexion and shoulder internal rotation, head-forward posture and reducing posterior pelvic tilt compared to traditional configurations.
