Best Answer

Wheelchair curlers use the same rocks and play on the same ice as regular curlers, but they deliver the rocks, often by pushing them with a delivery stick, from a stationary position.

The other major difference is that there is no sweeping, so once the stone has been thrown, there is no way to influence its path or speed.
