Abstract (en)

A modular wheelchair frame is provided having a first side frame and a second side frame. A collapsible structural assembly is releaseably connectable to the first and second side frames to space the first and second side frames apart. A rigid unitary structural assembly is also releaseably connectable to the first and second side frames to space the first and second side frames apart. The collapsible structural assembly and the rigid structural assembly are selectively interchangeable to convert the wheelchair frame between a rigid construction and a collapsible construction.
