Cognitive Abilities
For safe independent use, users must understand cause + effect (action = result). Independent use requires directional understanding (i.e. moving the wheels in one direction results in matching chair movement), problem solving (i.e. combine + time movements to get from A to B), and judgment (ability to learn that if something is unsafe they should not do it).
Functional Abilities
Users must have sufficient vision, trunk control and enough upper extremity grip, strength and stamina to steer and/or propel the chair. For foot propulsion, users must also have functional use of at least one lower extremity. Their adjustable foot and armrests and seat position make them appropriate for users requiring minimal positioning. This chair may not be appropriate for those with visual deficits, uncontrolled seizures, bilateral upper extremity weakness and those with poor trunk control.
Environment
Standard wheelchairs can be used both indoors and outdoors. They perform best on firm, flat surfaces such as pavement, groomed footpaths, cycle paths and in and around home. While it can be used outdoors, they not intended to be used on rough terrain, slopes, loose gravel, or sand. Their relatively small turn radius makes them appropriate for indoor use where space is limited.
Activities
Their maneuverability and small turn radius make standard wheelchairs ideal for use in tight spaces (stores, elevators, public washrooms, public transit etc.). While they can be used outdoors, they are best for activities done on flat level surfaces like urban sightseeing or sidewalk commuting.

Full Description
The TiLite SX and X are handcrafted from seamless, aerospace-grade titanium. Titanium has no equal when it comes to dampening vibrations caused by riding over rough or uneven surfaces. This means superior comfort for the user during many hours of use. Titanium’s weight is about one-half that of the aluminum used in most wheelchairs, it is incredibly strong. This means the SX and X will shake off years of abuse.
Features:
One-Piece Side Frames: increases performance by reducing flex and increasing durability.
Fixed or Swing Away Front End: The SX is available with either a fixed or a swing away front end. The swing in or out feature of the removable front hangers on the SX facilitates transfers in tight spots, like a restroom or a car.
Versatility: Merging adjustability with more options allows the SX and X to provide the best fit and performance even as needs change.
Machined Camber Plugs: The TiLite SX and X utilize machined plugs to create rear wheel camber allowing the chair to consistently track straight.
