Moving a loaded positioning chair without a handle means bending over it and lifting from an awkward height. The push handle gives the carer something to hold at a sensible working height, which protects their back and makes short moves around the house or classroom a one person job.
It fixes to the backrest and can be set at different heights above it, so the handle can be matched to the person doing the pushing. Where two people of different heights share the care, that adjustment is used more often than you would expect.
The handle fits the chair through the full size range and can be removed when the chair is being used at a table.
