How to maintain a wheelchair scientifically
A wheelchair is not just a simple tool, but a second pair of feet for the disabled and the elderly. It takes them where they want to go, and all of them are also carefully cared for by us. So how to take good care of them?
1. If your wheelchair is wet by snow or rain during use, it should be dried in time, and it must not be exposed to the sun. If the dust is large, it should be wiped with a soft dry cloth frequently, and if possible, it can be coated with anti-rust wax to keep the wheelchair bright and beautiful for a long time.
2. Before using the electric wheelchair or after one month of use, you should regularly check whether the bolts are loose and tighten them. It is best to send it back to the manufacturer for inspection every three months. Make sure that all parts are in good condition, check that all kinds of strong nuts on the wheelchair are tightened in time. To ensure safe use.
3. The connecting screw of the wheelchair seat frame is different from the link of the electric nursing bed. They are all loosely connected, so tightening is strictly prohibited.
4. The user often checks the flexibility of the rotating mechanism of each wheelchair component and applies lubricant. If it has been reassembled, it should be ensured that the nuts are tightened and will not loosen.
For the half-body disabled or the elderly with limited mobility, the wheelchair is their second pair of feet. After buying a wheelchair, many people usually do not check and maintain it as long as the wheelchair does not fail. In fact, this is a very wrong and irresponsible method.
The most important consideration when choosing a wheelchair is its size. The three main parts where wheelchair users bear weight are around the ischial tuberosity of the buttocks, around the femur, around the fossa and around the scapula. The size of the wheelchair, especially the width of the seat, the height of the backrest and the height of the backrest, and the distance between the pedals and the seat cushion will affect the blood circulation of the occupant's relevant parts of the force, and cause skin abrasions and even pressure sores. In addition, the safety of the patient, the ability to operate, the weight of the wheelchair, the location of use, and the appearance of the wheelchair must also be considered.
