I've never seen a one-armed wheelchair. If one of the arms has fallen off, I'd return it for a new one or seek to have it repaired.
If you are asking whether a wheelchair can be pushed using only one hand, I'd say yes, you can, if you wish to spin the chair around one wheel and aren't interested in moving the patient forward. If you wish to move the chair forward, however, then you must apply a force to the back of the chair between the two handles.
Yes, it is possible to push a wheelchair with one arm, though it may be more challenging than using both arms. The strength and coordination of the individual pushing the wheelchair will play a role in how well they can navigate with one arm.
An anti gravity chair, or a zero gravity chair, can be used as an ordinary chair. One can use it in the living room to watch TV, to relax one's body and give one a sense of weightlessness.
One you push and the other one you pull
It goes by sedan chair.
A wheel barrow is one example
A wheelbarrow only has one wheel so it does not use the mechanics of a "wheel and axle".
No there are not because even if you consider your arm one, there is no axle to push or pull in your body.
There are many places to find a wheel chair van. On the internet, www.mobilityvansales.com is a website where one can purchase a variety of used wheel chair accessible vehicles.
Someone can purchase a leather arm chair at a furniture store like Ikea, Leon's, or The Brick. One can also purchase a leather arm chair at department stores like Sears. Flea markets may also offer a leather arm chair for sale.
yes with practice :-)

With an electric wheel chair you won't have to push yourself and some low angled inclines will be easier. However, electric wheelchairs you would have to charge regularly, some inclines would be impossible, they only have a certain top speed, and don't have the same kind of control as a manual one. Also a manual wheelchair is good exercise.
"Wheelchair" is typically written as one word.
The wheels aren't parallel because when the user is turning a corner the wheel that is on the outside of the wheel chair not the the one you are turning on (the offside) leads the rest of the chair round to where it is being directed
