Frequently Asked Questions
What types of wheelchairs are available from LCS in Ireland?
LCS supplies a comprehensive range of wheelchairs and mobility solutions for children and adults, including manual wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs, tilt-in-space and comfort wheelchairs, active wheelchairs and paediatric mobility equipment.
The range also includes rehabilitation buggies, medical chairs and wheelchair power add-ons.
Working alongside occupational therapists, physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals, LCS helps identify suitable mobility and seating solutions based on each individual’s physical, functional and postural requirements.
What is the difference between a manual wheelchair and a powered wheelchair?
A manual wheelchair is propelled by the user through the rear wheels or pushed by an attendant. Manual wheelchairs are available in various configurations, including lightweight folding, rigid-frame and tilt-in-space models.
A powered wheelchair uses an electric drive system to provide mobility and is generally controlled through a joystick or another compatible control interface.
The most suitable option depends on factors such as the user’s strength, mobility, endurance, posture, environment and ability to operate the wheelchair safely.
Does LCS supply wheelchairs for children?
Yes. LCS offers a range of paediatric wheelchairs and mobility solutions designed to accommodate the needs of children and young wheelchair users.
Options include manual and powered paediatric wheelchairs, adjustable seating systems and rehabilitation buggies.
Depending on the model, features may include growth adjustment, postural support, tilt-in-space and compatibility with specialist seating.
An individual assessment can help determine which solution best supports the child’s mobility, comfort, development and participation in everyday activities.
What is a tilt-in-space wheelchair, and who might benefit from one?
A tilt-in-space wheelchair allows the seat and backrest to tilt together while maintaining the angle between them.
This can help users change their seated orientation, providing an alternative resting position and supporting postural management. Depending on the individual’s needs and seating configuration, tilt may also form part of a pressure-management strategy.
Tilt-in-space wheelchairs may be considered for users who have limited independent postural control, reduced ability to reposition themselves or more complex seating requirements.
Suitability should be determined through an individual clinical assessment.
Can LCS wheelchairs be fitted with custom seating and accessories?
Yes. Many wheelchairs supplied by LCS can be configured with specialist seating and accessories to accommodate individual postural and functional requirements.
Depending on compatibility and clinical needs, options may include custom-made seating, wheelchair cushions, backrests, headrests, positioning supports and alternative drive controls.
LCS also manufactures custom seating solutions, including carved foam seating, moulded seat inserts and 3D-printed seating.
This allows wheelchair and seating selection to be considered together, helping provide a more personalised mobility solution.
How do I arrange a wheelchair assessment or demonstration with LCS?
To discuss a wheelchair assessment or product demonstration, contact LCS directly or get in touch with your local LCS representative.
The assessment process considers the user’s mobility, posture, physical measurements, functional abilities, environment and individual goals. Where appropriate, LCS works alongside the user’s occupational therapist, physiotherapist or wider clinical team to identify a suitable wheelchair and seating configuration.
