2023-07-27 handler 744

As the editor of Guangzhou Topmedi Co., Ltd., I am pleased to provide you with precautions regarding manual wheelchairs. Manual wheelchairs are an important rehabilitation assistance device that can provide convenient mobility for the disabled and elderly. When using a manual wheelchair, please pay attention to the following points:

Purchase a suitable wheelchair: Choose a wheelchair that is suitable for your physical condition, such as seat width, depth, seat height, and armrest height. It is best to test it firsthand when purchasing to ensure comfort and stability.

Regular inspection of wheelchairs: After using the wheelchair for a period of time, there may be problems such as loose screws and worn wheels. Regularly check whether all components of the wheelchair are in good condition, and if there are any problems, repair or replace them in a timely manner to ensure the safe use of the wheelchair.

Proper use of a wheelchair: Before using a wheelchair, please carefully read the product manual to understand how to operate it correctly. During use, pay attention to maintaining body balance to avoid accidents caused by improper operation.

Control the speed of the wheelchair: Manual wheelchairs are driven by hand cranking, and the speed should be controlled during use to avoid losing control on smooth surfaces or downhill roads.

Avoiding wheelchair tipping: When riding in a wheelchair, maintain a stable center of gravity and avoid sudden standing or bending to prevent the wheelchair from tipping over.

Keep the wheelchair clean: Regularly clean the wheelchair, especially the wheels, brakes, and joints, to ensure normal use of the wheelchair.

Storage of wheelchairs: When not in use, they should be placed in a dry and ventilated area to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or damp environments.

Regular replacement of accessories: Over time, wheelchair accessories such as tires and brake pads may wear out, affecting their effectiveness. It is recommended to regularly replace accessories to ensure the normal use of the wheelchair.

In summary, when using a manual wheelchair, it is important to pay attention to safety and follow the instructions in the product manual. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Guangzhou Topmedi Co., Ltd. We will be happy to serve you.
