I’m not a doctor, but different people end up in wheelchairs for different reasons. If someone has both limbs, but has extensive nerve damage, then prosthetics might not be enough to help them become mobile.

In addition to this, the cost associated with having prosthetics created for you is not a cost that many people around the world have funds to cover.
