Where before they had to rely on being pushed around they are now able to get around on their own.

Sometimes, however, using a manual wheelchair can be very difficult, as can be the case of certain illnesses. Fortunately, there are a number of alternate wheelchairs control systems available. For example, electric wheelchairs can be controlled by head or neck movements, computers, and even using a brain-computer interface (BCI). @Sire

As to the upper body strength factor, one would assume that unless you are too old and frail, a normal person would develop this with continued use of the wheel chair.
