Key points of purchasing manual wheelchair

2022-09-13handler1331

According to the user's body shape

Choosing a wheelchair suitable for the user's body shape can make them sit more comfortable and use more easily.

The height from the ground to the cushion is called 'front seat height', which is too high or too low to maintain the most comfortable posture. The more suitable height is the length from the knee socket to the sole of the foot plus 5cm. When adding the cushion, the thickness of the cushion should be considered.

The width of the seat should be 3-5cm more than the maximum width of the hip. Many people think that the seat is spacious and it will be more comfortable to sit, but in fact, a seat that is too wide will make it difficult for people to maintain a stable sitting posture, but will make operation more difficult.

The height of the backrest is about 40cm, which is about below the back scapula. If the user's neck strength is weak, it may also be considered to add a part supporting the head.

*The above values are all recommended values. When actually purchasing, it is still necessary to confirm whether the user's actual feeling when sitting on it is comfortable.
