Price of wheelchair in Malaysia
Are you in the market for a new wheelchair? Choosing the right one can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to price.
In this article, we'll break down the different types of wheelchairs available and their corresponding prices, so you can make an informed decision on which one is right for you.
First, let's take a look at manual wheelchairs. These are the most common type and are operated by the user or a caregiver using their own strength to push the wheels. Prices for manual wheelchairs range from RM250 for a basic, no-frills model to RM4,000 or more for a high-end, custom-made chair.
Next, there are power wheelchairs, which are operated by a motor and can be controlled using a joystick or other control device. Power wheelchairs tend to be more expensive than manual wheelchairs, with prices starting at around RM3,800 and going up to RM20,000 or more for a top-of-the-line model.
Finally, there are hybrid wheelchairs, which combine the features of manual and power wheelchairs. These tend to be more expensive than manual wheelchairs, but less expensive than power wheelchairs, with prices ranging from RM3,500 to RM15,000.
When shopping for a wheelchair, it's important to consider your budget and needs. You may also be able to find second hand or used wheelchairs for a lower price, or take advantage of financing options or discounts for veterans or people with disabilities.
