The posture of riding an electric wheelchair has a lot to do with comfort. Like ordinary people, sitting in a chair for a long time will make you feel uncomfortable. The same is true for elderly people in electric wheelchairs. When riding an electric wheelchair, they must adjust their posture, otherwise they will feel very uncomfortable.
The first is the head. Head is one of the most important positions when riding. For the head, patients should choose those electric wheelchairs with higher backs when choosing electric wheelchairs, or put small pillows on the head and neck of patients when using them.
Next is the patient's legs, the attention of many patients need to pay attention to the leg, the main reason for the general wheelchair rider is that the legs can not walk normally, so use wheelchair to help themselves travel. When riding in a wheelchair, pay attention to the leg posture when riding. Incorrect will affect the sciatic joint in the thigh, which will increase the pressure on the joint, so we should pay attention to protecting the patient's legs when riding. Some patients'legs are powerless. When using them, we should pay attention to the baffle of the legs. We should also pay attention to helping patients adjust the height of the pedal in time when the ride time is longer, so as to alleviate the pressure and make the ride more comfortable.
The third is the buttocks. For a long time, most of the body weight of the electric wheelchair is concentrated in the buttocks, so the buttocks are under great pressure, and bedsores easily occur. It is suggested that the sitting posture should be changed frequently for a long time in an electric wheelchair, and proper exercise activities should be taken to relieve the pressure on the buttocks. In addition, we can choose more comprehensive functions of upright electric wheelchair, standing electric wheelchair and so on.
