However, it could have a major impact on its ability to support the client's independence and lifestyle. Even the simplest factors such as the size of the doorway as well as the height and design of work surfaces or utilities and the terrain the wheelchair is expected to traverse can have a significant effect on the performance of the chair. Many long-term care facilities only use manual wheelchairs in their fleet that are already in a particular category (K0001 K002, K002, etc.). These chairs are usually basic and have limited functionality in terms of seating or self-propulsion. It is essential to advocate for a wider selection of manual wheelchairs as part of this fleet, so that customers can receive far more durable and efficient chairs. To make a self-propelled chair efficient the drive wheels have to be within the client's reach. It is therefore recommended to select larger diameter front drive- and push-rims. Also, for the wheelchair to climb a paving curb or single step it is crucial that the rear wheel placement is ideal. If the wheelchair is constructed with a rear wheel that is placed too far back this can cause instability and even tipping. A well-designed chair has an X-frame underneath the seat to allow for growth. This will ensure that the chair is comfortable and will be able to adjust to changing requirements over time. A frame that is light is crucial for self-propelled chair, since it allows the chair to be lighter overall. This allows one to move the chair using less energy, and also makes it easier to move in vehicles. A reliable and sturdy brake system is essential for both indoor and outdoor use. This will prevent your chair from crashing into the ground or getting stuck on uneven surfaces or slopes. It should also be easy to operate with minimum effort. Other features like pouches and holders for personal items, as well as weather guards that protect the chair against the elements can also improve the functionality and comfort of a wheelchair. The Activity A person's strength, range of motion, muscle tone and orthopedic status are going to determine if they are able to self-propel a manual wheelchair or require the assistance of a power chair. It is also important to consider the surroundings where the wheelchair is going to be utilized. This includes the floor, doorway sizes, heights of utility or work surfaces, and so on. It's also critical to review the things they're trying to accomplish in their surroundings Do they need to go over steep ramps or over curbs? Are they using their wheelchair to explore national parks or beaches? If a customer is new to self-propelling they'll usually require an extremely flexible entry level chair that has a high level of post supply alterations. This allows them to work out the best seating configuration and allows them to attain the highest stability. Many clients choose to use only one foot and hand to push their wheelchair over small distances, most often after a stroke when they suffer from hemiparesis, and only one side of the body is affected. To be able to do this it is necessary that the seat to floor height must be low enough for the user to be able to reach both the rims of the chair with their hands. Some customers prefer to drive their wheelchairs in circles. This is more difficult and requires a lot more energy. The seat-to-floor height of the wheelchair should be lower so that the user can grasp both wheels and push them together. Others will push themselves over long distances in their wheelchairs using only the feet. To do this effectively the chair must have a low floor-to-seat height and a strong feet. Some customers may opt to purchase a wheelchair that has large outdoor tires to enable them to travel over sandy beaches or national parks for example. It is also important to think about the location of the rear wheels on these chairs. If they are placed too far back, they can be difficult to balance them and cause them to be more likely to fall over. However, if the rear wheel is placed too forward, it can make the chair feel unstable and could be hard on shoulders and ankles. The Chair Self-propelled wheelchairs allow the user to move their wheelchairs on their own, without the need of someone to push them. They are lighter and easier to maneuver than other kinds of chairs, which makes them perfect for people who wish to remain independent or have a new lease on life, without relying on others.
