What is the name of the movable chair on large wheels used to transport people unable to walk?

• A. Sims
• B. Wheelchair
• C. Walker
• D. Dermis

Answer: (B)

Mobility aids for people who can’t walk are designed to keep the person safe while being moved or while standing with support. The movable chair on large wheels used to transport someone who cannot walk is a wheelchair. It’s built as a seat with wheels, allowing caregivers to push the person to different locations without requiring them to stand or take steps. Large rear wheels help with stability and maneuverability, and there are both manual and powered options depending on the person’s needs.

In contrast, a walker is a frame with handles that provides balance and support for someone who can stand and take a few steps but needs assistance. The Sims position is a body positioning technique, not a transport device. Dermis refers to skin, which is unrelated to mobility aids.
