Which term refers to the chair used by someone who cannot walk?

• A. Stretcher
• B. Scooter
• C. Wheelchair
• D. Recliner

Answer: (C)

Mobility aids help people move when walking isn’t possible. A wheelchair is the chair designed for this purpose, with wheels so someone can be moved by another person or self-propelled, enabling independent or assisted travel. A stretcher is for transporting someone who cannot walk while lying down, not for everyday mobility. A scooter is a vehicle used for short trips and isn’t described as a chair for someone who can’t walk. A recliner is a comfortable chair for resting and lacks the mobility features of a wheelchair. So, the chair used by someone who cannot walk is a wheelchair.
