Can it attach to a non-motorized wheelchair?

I just attached two of them to my little boat trailer. As long as there's a hole to put a bolt through, you can attach it to anything.

I think it would be able to be connected to a wheel chair but my use was a bit different. I just used the fiberglass rod and inserted it into a hole on the seat of my recumbent trike. You should be able to install it as is or have someone adapt it to your specific needs.

I do not see why not. the pad is plugged to a cord that has a metal clip that needs to be attached to metal. Does the wheelchair have somewhere to attach a small alligator clip? best would be to contact manufacturer however or Dr. Sinatra.

My friend answered back that the cup h older works fiine on her rollator, so we think it will work on your wheelchair. People are so impressed w hen they see me with mine. Go for it!

Nope. It has to be pushed by someone, since the wheels are small unlike a regular wheelchair

I don't see why not, but don't really know. I do know that one should not bear the cost for a whole new chair. Right now it is something that I have to check out for my regular wheelchair as the tread is all worn and it slips on smooth surfaces. On a transport chair I would think this could be critical as the person being transported has no control of the chair and the brakes don't seem to be as strong.

If you mean one of those extra-wide wheelchairs, probably not. The straps won't read around anything wider than a standard chair.

With respect, I believe the previous response is incorrect. The mounting points on standard wheelchairs seem to be pretty much universal, between models and even between manufacturers. In reply to a previous question about these footrests, I provided the measurement of the spacing between the plates that carry the mounting pins. Measure this on your wheelchair, and you will have a definitive answer!

Yes. it should be fine. Just be sure that the wheelchair seat is big enough for the cushion as it is rather large.

It attached very nicely to a flat surface on the arms of a chair where the top of the clamp can fit on top of the arm and the vee-shaped underside of the clamp has room to fit on the underside. A nightstand would have to have a substantial overhang (minimum 2-1/2" suggested) for it to work. It would not work well on the round arm of a wheelchair. For the intended use, it works extremely well and is highly recommended.

I would not recommend this to bo used as a wheelchair even though it is very strong & sturdy. I feel this was not the intent and would be dangerous to do so.

Yes. The mounting brackets seem to be standard for most wheelchairs. These are interchangeable between my regular Drive chair, my Invacare one, and my Drive transport chair. I recommend these very highly. I am subject to leg spasms, and have broken several plastic footrests. By contrast, these are effectively indestructible.

I haven't tested it in a wheelchair, but after buying two of them and trying them in several different kinds of chairs, I would think that the sling-type seat in a wheelchair wouldn't support this device securely enough to make it reliable. It needs to remain securely cradled in a chair (works great, for example, in soft chairs with arms--recliners, for example).

Probably not. I wouldn't use it in this way - but then I wouldn't try to do that with a wheelchair!!!

I don't have a wheelchair to compare it too. Although, I believe that it would if the wheelchair isn't really wide.......I love this computer desk for my laptop.

I suppose it can be used by a person in a wheelchair. Lock the wheels and would need to lean away from the side to avoid hitting the bar on the armrests. The clearance needed would be ~ 10" or so to compensate for the bend in the bar and the arm movement. The user would need fairly strong shoulders as the resistance becomes significant after ~30 sec.

If the wheelchair's wheels have bicycle style spokes and hub, it should work. These would be a perfect night time safety feature, I would recommend giving them a shot, especially since they're so affordable. Cheers!

The backpack hangs maybe an inch below the top of the back of the wheelchair, so as long as you have the flexibility to twist around sufficiently and reach your arm down about 6 inches, you could retrieve these things from the backpack. You can test this in your wheelchair before you buy...I hope it works out for you.
