(54) Wheelchair


(57) A wheelchair (10) is described including a pair of side frames (14, 16) and at least one footrest (32), each side frame (14, 16) having a lower frame part (14a, 16a) and an upper frame part (14b, 16b) which are moveable relative to each other between a 'storage' condition, in which an uppermost part of each upper frame part (14b, 16b) is positioned remotely from its respective lower frame support (14a, 16a), and an 'in use' condition, in which the uppermost part of each upper frame part (14b, 16b) is positioned closer to its respective lower frame part (14a, 16a), wherein movement of the upper frame parts (14b, 16b) from their 'storage' condition to their 'in use' condition effects movement of the footrest (32) to a deployed condition.
