Is the wheelchair the bigger the better?

When shopping for wheelchairs or electric wheelchairs, there are always different styles to look at. Wheelchair size is an important factor that people consider when purchasing. But for most of them, they don't know the difference between different sized wheelchairs, so it's easy to make tough choices when buying a wheelchair. So the bigger the wheelchair, the better? Should I choose big wheels or a wheelchair?

The biggest difference between hand-pushed wheelchairs, large wheels and small wheels is that users of large wheels can push themselves or let others push them from behind, while wheelchairs with small wheels can only be pushed by others, so they are not wheels. The bigger the better, the better the wheel size, but the wheel size needs to be selected according to the user's own situation.

If your arm strength is okay, and if you can push yourself, use the big wheels. Generally young people use big wheels. For the elderly, there is usually someone to take care of them. It is enough to use a small wheel for the nursing staff to push, and the small wheel is more convenient to carry and store, takes up little space and is light in weight.

The size of the wheelchair wheel is selected according to the living environment and range of activities. If you need to move to the third floor or above, it is recommended to buy a small roulette, which is lighter. If it is an elevator room or the first floor, there is no problem in moving it. It is recommended to buy big wheels. Relatively speaking, it is a little less labor-intensive to push the big wheels, and the obstacle-surmounting ability of the big wheels is better than that of the small wheels.

The large wheelchair is very comfortable for the sitting person, and saves effort when self-help. Small wheelchairs are intermediate wheelchairs and must be propelled by another person. But the body is compact and easy to carry. It mainly depends on whether the user is an old man or a young man, and whether there is a nursing staff at home.
