Wheelchair users need a wheelchair to assist in walking. They need to sit in a wheelchair for a long time due to work or life. Eight hours of sedentary is common. Over time, it will affect the body and even cause serious damage.

Introduction: Nowadays, many families care about the elderly very much. Whether they are inconvenient to move, bedridden for a long time or elderly, they will buy wheelchairs at home to facilitate the elderly to go out to relax and breathe. However, many people don't know that if they do not learn to use wheelchairs correctly, they will bring "secondary injury" to the elderly with limited mobility. Such cases account for nearly 70% of the elderly who use wheelchairs. Therefore, how to use the wheelchair correctly has become the knowledge that nurses and family members must understand. Next, Yikang Medical will introduce the skills of caring for the elderly in wheelchairs in detail.

For some patients who are temporarily unable to move due to chronic diseases, leg discomfort, postoperative rehabilitation, etc., a lightweight folding wheelchair is an ideal tool for temporary travel. Whether it is going out to see a doctor, attending a family gathering, or going outdoors for fresh air, you can use a lightweight folding wheelchair.

For patients with severe muscle weakness or upper limb dysfunction, using traditional manual wheelchairs will lead to the dilemma of "being able to sit but unable to move" due to the lack of propulsion. Electric wheelchairs can easily replace manpower to complete various directions of travel through the electric drive system.

The role of the shower assist chair in medical care: 1. Ensure patient safety 2. Improve nursing efficiency 3. Promote patient autonomy 4. Adapt to diverse nursing needs 5. Reduce the occurrence of complications

American ADA Standard ·The minimum seat width requirement for heavy steel wheelchairs is 20 inches (50.8 cm); ·For those weighing more than 160 kg, it is recommended to use a 24-30 inch (61-76 cm) seat width model; ·All wheelchairs must pass static and dynamic load tests.

The 4-wheel lightweight rollator is a highly adaptable, safe and practical walking aid for the elderly who have certain walking ability, slightly poor balance ability and want to move independently.

From the perspective of functional positioning, the rollator walker with seat emphasizes "autonomy + short-term rest", while the transport wheelchair emphasizes "dependence + long-term riding". The two have clear positioning and cannot be used interchangeably.

People who need to use standard manual wheelchairs include: 1. People with short-term mobility restrictions 2. People with mobility difficulties caused by chronic diseases 3. Elderly people 4. Patients with spinal cord injuries 5. Patients who are bedridden for a long time but can sit up

The answer is no! Although most of the manual wheelchairs used daily on the market, especially the standard and lightweight ones, have folding functions and are classified as "manual folding wheelchairs", there are still many manual wheelchairs that do not have folding designs due to structural stability, functional complexity, and specific usage scenarios.
