Whealk

|
Pronounced we-alk Definition Whealk is the occupational description of the action by one person using a wheelchair, wheeling, accompanied by one or more other people who are walking. Conditional requirements of this definition preclude the wheelchair user from being assisted, in which case the action would simply be wheeling. Further, for each wheelchair user, a pattern of walking person accompanyment must be clearly established for the term to hold true. This becomes relevant in sponsored and competitive events. Additional information The type of wheelchair, for example a manual or electric wheelchair, is irrelevant. Notable whealker The iconic Australian singer, Judith Durham, cited whealking as her "personal Elvis" when covering Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus". |
