Quick answer

Start with the job the equipment has to do.

A sport wheelchair should be selected by sport, classification context, playing level, position, transfer routine, and training environment. A basketball chair, tennis chair, and sit-ski solve different movement problems, so fitting has to start with the sport rather than a generic wheelchair category.

Fit checks

The details that change the outcome.

Sport-specific geometry affects speed, turning, chair contact, reach, and stability.

Training location and transport can affect wheel, frame, and accessory decisions.

Athletes often need a setup that evolves with skill level and competition goals.

How to choose

Compare the tradeoffs before the model.
