Best Answer

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.

What are the pros and cons of an electric versus manual wheel chair?

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.
