Wheelchairs

 

When it comes to mobility aids, wheelchairs are a popular option for those who have difficulty walking or standing for long periods. Wheelchairs can help people with mobility issues maintain their independence and participate in daily activities.

 

What Are The Different Types Of Wheelchairs?

 

Manual Wheelchairs

Manual wheelchairs are propelled by the user or a caregiver pushing the wheelchair's rear wheels. They are lightweight and easy to maneuver, making them ideal for everyday use. Manual wheelchairs are available in different sizes and styles, and some can be customized to meet specific needs. Day's Medical offer some of our most popular self-propelled wheelchairs.

 

Self Propelled Wheelchairs

A self propelled wheelchair is a type of manual wheelchair that is propelled by the user through the use of hand rims attached to the rear wheels. This allows the user to independently move around and control their own mobility. They are typically lighter in weight than powered wheelchairs, making them easier to transport and maneuver in tight spaces. Self propelled wheelchairs are available in a range of styles and designs to suit different needs and preferences, including folding frames for easy storage, adjustable seat heights and footrests, and various seating options for comfort and support. Roma Medical offer some great self propelled wheelchair options.

 

Power Wheelchairs

Power wheelchairs are electrically powered and operated by a joystick or other control mechanism. They are ideal for people with mobility issues who have difficulty propelling a manual wheelchair. Power wheelchairs are available in different styles and sizes, and some can be customized to meet specific needs.

 

Transit Wheelchairs

Transport or transit wheelchairs are designed for short-term use and are lightweight and easy to transport. They are pushed by a caregiver and do not have the same maneuverability as manual or power wheelchairs. Transport wheelchairs are ideal for people who need temporary assistance with mobility. Karma Mobility offer some of the best transport wheelchairs on the market.

 

What To Consider When Buying A Wheelchair

 

User's Needs

When buying a wheelchair, it's important to consider the user's needs. Factors such as the user's weight, height, and level of mobility should be taken into account. Some wheelchairs are designed for specific needs, such as those with reclining backs or tilt-in-space features.

 

Comfort and Support

Comfort and support are important considerations when buying a wheelchair. The seat should be comfortable and provide adequate support for the user's back and hips. The wheelchair's footrests should also be adjustable to ensure proper support and positioning.

 

Portability and Storage

Portability and storage are important factors to consider if the wheelchair will be transported frequently. Some wheelchairs are lightweight and easy to fold, making them ideal for travel or storage. Others may be more difficult to transport due to their size or weight.

 

Terrain

The terrain on which the wheelchair will be used is also an important consideration. Some wheelchairs are designed for indoor use and may not be suitable for outdoor terrain. Other wheelchairs may be designed specifically for outdoor use and have features such as larger wheels and better suspension.

 

Price

Wheelchairs can vary in price, depending on their features and level of customization. It's important to set a budget and look for a wheelchair that meets the user's needs while staying within the budget.


I Don't Know Which Wheelchair To Buy?

Comfort and support are important considerations when buying a wheelchair. The seat should be comfortable and provide adequate support for the user's back and hips. The wheelchair's footrests should also be adjustable to ensure proper support and positioning.

 

Portability and Storage

Portability and storage are important factors to consider if the wheelchair will be transported frequently. Some wheelchairs are lightweight and easy to fold, making them ideal for travel or storage. Others may be more difficult to transport due to their size or weight.

 

Terrain

The terrain on which the wheelchair will be used is also an important consideration. Some wheelchairs are designed for indoor use and may not be suitable for outdoor terrain. Other wheelchairs may be designed specifically for outdoor use and have features such as larger wheels and better suspension.

 

Price

Wheelchairs can vary in price, depending on their features and level of customization. It's important to set a budget and look for a wheelchair that meets the user's needs while staying within the budget.
