What is the proper verb for someone else than the person sitting in the chair propelling the wheelchair forward by pushing it? How about the proper verb for the person sitting in the wheelchair propelling it forward by hand? I think there should be links to these in the article. --80.220.87.41 15:56, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would just be 'push'? —CodeCat 15:58, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure - for both cases? How about 'wheel'? --80.220.87.41 16:06, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I imagine both would work. Some people might have a special word for it but I don't think there is any single term for it that's in general use. —CodeCat 16:10, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
