Strongback Wheelchairs for Veterans
Last updated: ยท Reviewed by Christian Grothe
Getting a Strongback Through the VA
Veterans can get a Strongback wheelchair through their VA clinic. A VA purchase has to come from the clinic directly, not from you as an individual, so we cannot bill the VA for a chair you buy yourself on this website.
Contact your VA clinic, tell them which Strongback model you need, and ask them to request a quote from us. We send the clinic a written quote and take the order from there. If the clinic needs anything from us, they can reach us at (757) 349-7790 or usa@strongbackmobility.com.
Questions About Your VA Benefits
If you are not sure which VA benefits apply to you or how to start, call the VA benefits hotline at 800-827-1000. For a wheelchair, your VA clinic is the first contact. Learn more on VA.gov
Award-Winning Ergonomic Design
Every Strongback wheelchair is built around the patented, frame-integrated backrest engineered for the natural S-curve of the human spine. There is no strap-on cushion and no aftermarket lumbar pad. Strongback's ergonomic design has been recognized by international design juries, including the German Design Award (2018 and 2020) and the Good Design Award from The Chicago Athenaeum (2023).

What You Get with a Strongback
- Posture support built into the frame: the patented backrest follows the natural curve of your lower spine.
- Ultra-lightweight aluminum on the Strongback Comfort line, with quick-release rear wheels that come off by hand.
- Modern, design-led chairs for people who appreciate good design.
- Designed to look like sports equipment, not a medical aid.
- The backrest is part of the frame, so the chair folds just like a chair with a flat sling back.
Sizes and Capacity
- Seat widths of 16, 18, 20 and 22 inches across the range.
- Tested at 300 lb capacity on every chair, 375 lb on the Strongback Heavy Duty.
- Self-propelled wheelchairs, and the Strongback Excursion transport chair for when someone else pushes.
