A manual wheelchair operates through the user's physical effort, utilizing large rear wheels with hand rims that allow the person to propel themselves forward or backward by pushing on the rims. The front caster wheels provide steering and maneuverability, while the user can control direction and speed by adjusting the force and angle of their pushes. Additionally, manual wheelchairs often have a braking system to help maintain control and stop safely.
