A mobile chair is a versatile piece of furniture with wheels, designed to be an alternative for those who have trouble walking. The device comes in different variations where it can be propelled by electric motors or manually by the seated individual turning the rear wheels with their hands. Many models also come equipped with handles behind the seat allowing another person to do the pushing. Mobile chairs are utilized by individuals whose walking abilities are severely compromised due to medical conditions (such as chronic illnesses), injuries, or physical disabilities. People who experience both sitting and walking limitations often require using a mobility aid like this type of chair. The earliest recorded use of wheeled furniture dates back to ancient civilizations in Asia and Europe during the 6th century B.C., where a stone inscription was discovered and an ancient Greek vase depicted a child's bed with wheels. This technology gained popularity among Europeans during the Renaissance period. Mechanical engineers Harry Jennings and his disabled friend Herbert Everest invented the first lightweight, collapsible wheelchair made of steel in 1933. Herbert had broken his back in a mining accident which led to their creation. Key Features: This 3D prop set for DAZ Studio includes two props: a wheelchair and its folded version.
