I thought the purpose of a wheelchair was to assist immobile people in becoming mobile, and generally people are immobile because their legs don't work quite right. Or maybe because they don't have legs. Either way, the idea of an elderly woman, in a wheelchair, using her feet and legs to scootch herself across a room, seems slightly odd. Yet this is what I witnessed a few days ago at work. Apparently nobody explained the concept of a wheelchair to her.
