How to maintain wheelchair scientifically

The wheelchair is not just a simple tool, but the second pair of feet of the disabled and the elderly. It takes them everywhere they want to go, and all of them need our careful care. So how to take good care of them?

1、 If your wheelchair is wet by snow or rain when you use it, you should dry it in time, and never expose it to the sun. If the dust is large, you should often use a soft dry cloth to wipe it. If possible, you can also apply rust proof wax to keep the wheelchair bright and beautiful.

2、 Before or one month after the use of the electric wheelchair, the bolts should be checked regularly for looseness and tightened. It is better to send it back to the manufacturer for maintenance every three months. Ensure that all parts are in good condition, and check that all solid nuts on the wheelchair are fastened in time. To ensure the safety of use.

3、 The connecting screw of the wheelchair seat frame is different from the connection of the electric nursing bed. It is all loosely connected, so it is strictly prohibited to tighten it.

4、 Users often check the flexibility of the rotating mechanism of each wheelchair component and apply lubricant. If it has been reassembled, make sure that the nut is tight and not loose. For the elderly with hemiplegia or mobility difficulties, the wheelchair is their second pair of feet. Many people will not check and maintain wheelchairs as long as they do not break down after they buy them. In fact, this is a very wrong and irresponsible way.

The most important consideration when choosing a wheelchair is the size of the wheelchair. The main parts that wheelchair users bear weight are around the hip ischial tubercle, around the femur, around the female fossa and around the scapula. The size of the wheelchair, especially the width of the seat, the depth of the seat and the height of the backrest, and whether the distance between the pedal and the seat cushion is appropriate, will affect the blood circulation of the relevant parts of the passenger, and cause skin abrasion, even pressure sores. In addition, the patient's safety, operation ability, wheelchair weight, use location, appearance and other issues should also be considered.
