At present, there are many wheelchair brands in the market, so it is difficult for consumers to make decisions in the process of purchasing. Today, I will introduce wheelchair products to you.
Wheelchair type
There are two types of home wheelchairs: manual wheelchairs and electric wheelchairs
Manual wheelchair: as the name implies, it needs to be pushed manually behind someone to walk.
With the development of science and technology, a hand-held wheelchair has been introduced, that is, a hand-held device has been added, so that users can move as long as they sit on the wheelchair and constantly shake the rocker.
Electric wheelchair: a new type of wheelchair is equipped with an electric motor, and has many electric functions. It does not need to be pushed or manually rocked. However, the price is often a little expensive.
Precautions for wheelchair purchase
Wheelchair width: from the actual point of view, ensure that the purchased wheelchair can pass through the home door and the room door. If conditions permit, it is better to use a foldable wheelchair to facilitate travel.
Seat: the seat material is generally considered, and the air permeability and comfort are very important.
Backrest: the inclination angle is very important. If it is vertical 90 degrees, it is easy to have back pain and backache if you sit for a long time.
Wheelchair material: generally two kinds of materials, steel pipe or aluminum alloy. The steel pipe type is heavier and the aluminum alloy is lighter, and the price is different.
Wheels: pneumatic and solid tires. Pneumatic tires have cushioning effect and shock absorption effect. They are comfortable and need frequent maintenance. Solid wheelchair, no need to worry about tire puncture, shock absorption and wear resistance, the price is slightly expensive
