How to choose a wheelchair?
The selection of a wheelchair should take into account the nature and extent of use, age, general functional status, and place of use. If you can't operate the wheelchair yourself, you can choose a simple wheelchair, which can be pushed by someone else. The wounded with basically normal upper limbs, such as lower limb amputee wounded, low paraplegic wounded, etc., can choose a pneumatic tire wheelchair with a hand wheel in an ordinary wheelchair. The upper limbs are strong, but the fingers are paralyzed, and the wheelchair with the gripper on the handwheel can be selected.
1. Performance. The performance of the wheelchair includes: maximum speed, braking, battery life, balance, etc., which can be known from the product introduction.
2. Is the design comfortable? The size and seat of the wheelchair must meet the actual needs of the occupant, including the weight of the wheelchair, the location of use, and the appearance. When buying, it is best to experience it yourself, whether the model is suitable, whether the model is suitable for you, etc.
3. Services. Wheelchairs will inevitably fail during use. When purchasing a wheelchair, pay attention to whether there is a manufacturer's warranty and whether there is after-sales maintenance service.
4. Material and lightness. According to the material of the wheelchair, it can be divided into: aluminum alloy, steel pipe and iron. Nowadays, wheelchairs on the market are generally made of aluminum alloys. (Many people think that the material of steel pipe will be stronger than aluminum alloy. In fact, it is not the case. Now the aluminum alloy for wheelchairs is made of high-strength aluminum alloy. This material not only has the advantages of strength and durability of steel pipe, but also is lightweight. The disadvantage of the heavy steel pipe material).
5. Price. At present, most of the wheelchairs used by the elderly are made in China. The price of wheelchairs is between 450 and 1,000. The price of imported wheelchairs is relatively high, which is basically more than 10,000 yuan. Good to be able to shop around to know what to expect.
