Choosing a wheelchair based on different functional impairment

The selection of a wheelchair should be based on the user's functional impairment. The following are different types of wheelchairs and their applicability:

Ordinary wheelchair: suitable for users with symptoms such as lower limb disability, craniocerebral injury, and elderly dementia. This type of wheelchair is usually made of aluminum alloy or steel and has the characteristics of being sturdy and durable.

Electric wheelchair: Driven by batteries, it can be controlled to move forward, backward, left and right through a joystick or remote control. Suitable for users with lower limb disabilities or limited mobility. Electric wheelchairs can improve users' autonomy and mobility, but they need to pay attention to safety during use.

Portable wheelchair: Made of lightweight materials, it has a smaller size and weight, and is suitable for users who need frequent handling. This type of wheelchair is usually suitable for indoor use and not very suitable for outdoor use.

Folding wheelchair: It can be easily carried and stored, and can usually be folded into smaller sizes. Suitable for users who need to move or travel frequently.

Intelligent wheelchair: With intelligent functions such as automatic lifting, rotation, and movement, it is suitable for users who require more complex auxiliary functions. Smart wheelchairs can be controlled through mobile applications or remote controls.

In short, choosing a wheelchair should be based on the specific situation of the user, in order to maximize their needs and improve their quality of life. At the same time, when purchasing a wheelchair, attention should be paid to the quality and safety of the wheelchair to ensure the safety and comfort of the user.
