    We are trying to figure out a wheelchair (manual) that might work for a gentleman who has a hook prosthesis on one arm and the other is almost useless, like a claw.

    This person is also very tall, 6 feet, 5 inches tall and has a leg prosthesis.  Although he is walking and going to the gym everyday, we want to include a wheelchair for reduced endurance/stamina.

    Any suggestions?  Thanks!
