Which code is used to indicate a wheelchair that is manually powered?

• A. WCHC
• B. WCHR
• C. WCMP
• D. WCOB

Answer: (C)

Understanding how these codes describe wheelchair power helps you choose correctly. The code WCMP includes MP at the end, which stands for Manual Propulsion. That means the wheelchair is propelled by hand, not by a motor. So WCMP directly indicates a manually powered wheelchair. The other codes describe different wheelchair configurations and do not indicate manual propulsion, so they don’t fit the description.
