Wheelchairs are chairs with wheels to help replace walking, which can be divided into electric and manual folding wheelchairs. It is an important mobile tool for home rehabilitation, transportation, medical treatment and outdoor activities of the injured, sick and disabled. The wheelchair not only meets the needs of people with physical disabilities and mobility difficulties, but also facilitates the movement and care of family members, so that patients can exercise and participate in social activities with the help of the wheelchair.
Wheelchair size
The most important consideration when choosing a wheelchair is the size of the wheelchair. The main load-bearing parts of wheelchair users are around hip ischial tubercle, femur, fossa and scapula.
The size of the wheelchair, especially the width and depth of the seat, the height of the backrest and the distance between the pedal and the seat cushion, will affect the blood circulation of the relevant parts of the occupant, causing skin abrasions and even pressure sores. In addition, we should also consider the patient's safety, operational ability, the weight of the wheelchair, the place of use, appearance and other issues.
