The right accessories make using a wheelchair easier. These tools may be things that attach to a wheelchair to make daily tasks more comfortable. Some can also be used with other mobility aids, like a walker.

What kinds of wheelchair accessories are there?

Cup holders can clip on and off to accommodate a variety of cups and bottles.

These bags keep items (such as cell phone, glasses, medication) within reach using hook and loop straps. The bag can be attached to the front of the walker or the armrest or back of a wheelchair. Pictured is an under-chair pouch from Handy Bag.
