Does the Wheelchair have arm rests?

The arms on a wheelchair are essential for support whilst seated. Many wheelchairs have detachable armrests which can be removed to allow sideways transfers.  An alternative to detachable arms is to have swing up arms which pivot at the back. Some chairs have armrests which swing up and are detachable.

Some of the more sophisticated wheelchairs incorporate height adjustable armrests. This is particularly useful when you need to use a pressure cushion in the wheelchair which may change your seating position.
