How to choose wheelchairs for patients with different levels

1. People who are paralyzed below the waist and unable to control their bowel movements. Because the upper limbs of this group can move freely, a wheelchair with large wheels and a push ring should be selected, preferably a toilet wheelchair. When the patient is in good physical condition, he can move freely, so that the upper body can maintain the necessary activities and exercises. When the patient is tired, the backrest can be supported to support the back, the backrest can also be laid flat, and the footrest can be raised, so that better rest can be obtained.

2. Patients with stroke and total paralysis. Such patients are suitable for lightweight wheelchairs with detachable armrests for the convenience of nursing staff. Because such patients are bedridden for a long time, wheelchairs are required to be easily connected with the beds, which can greatly reduce the burden on patients and nursing staff.

3. Patients during orthopedic treatment. Such patients spend a long time and use low-back wheelchairs, which will cause excessive pressure on the hips, waist and neck, and may cause damage to the waist and hips, which is not conducive to the rehabilitation of the patient.

4. Those who are heavier. Heavier people should use a reinforced wheelchair. The seat is deepened and widened, and the structure is strengthened by thickened aluminum tubes. It is recommended to find a manufacturer to customize the wheelchair.
