Manual wheelchairs contain dozens of ball bearings in their wheels, casters, and folding mechanisms that require regular lubrication to reduce pushing effort. A well-lubricated wheelchair can reduce the force needed to push by up to 30 percent, significantly decreasing user fatigue over the course of a day. Most manufacturers recommend light oil or lithium grease every few months, but many users overlook this simple maintenance. Proper bearing care can extend wheelchair component life from 2-3 years to over 5 years of daily use.
