wheelchair braking system

The large wheels of the wheelchair should have brakes on each wheel, of course, when the hemiplegic can only use one hand.

You have to brake with one hand, but you can also install an extension rod to control the brakes on both sides.

There are two types of brakes:

⑴ Notch brake. This brake is safe and reliable, but more laborious.

After adjustment, it can also brake on slopes. If it is adjusted to level 1 and cannot brake on flat ground, it will be invalid.

⑵ Toggle brake. Use the principle of leverage to pass through several joints and then brake.

Its mechanical advantages are stronger than notch brakes, but they fail faster.

In order to increase the braking force of the patient, an extension rod is often added to the brake.

Wheelchairs, but this bar is easily damaged, if not checked frequently, it will affect safety.
