Electric-chair is sometimes used in publications by organizations of people with  disabilities to mean "electric-powered wheelchair". The electric chair is an execution method in which the person being put to death is strapped to a chair and electrocuted through electrodes placed on the body. This execution method has been used only in the United States and for a period of several decades [1] in the Philippines (its first use there in 1924).
