This article compares the advantages of travel wheelchairs over standard wheelchairs and explains how a travel whelchair brings lots of convenience to people's travel.
Indoor use: It is recommended to choose a narrower and lighter rollator walker to facilitate passing through narrow spaces such as door frames and corridors. Rollator walkers with a width of less than 55cm are more suitable for indoor use.
Outdoor use: A larger and more stable rollator walker is required, usually with a width of 55cm-65cm, and a larger wheel diameter is required to adapt to uneven roads.
Pros of steel manual wheelchair:
1. Strong and durable
2. Economical
3. Strong load-bearing capacity
4. High stability
5. Simple maintenance
6. Adaptable to various use environments
Cons of the steel manual wheelchair:
1. Heavy weight
2. Easy to rust
3. Relatively low comfort
4. Not easy to adjust
5. Single appearance design
Due to the smaller size and strength of children, pediatric wheel chairs are generally lighter, weighing about 10 kg, which is convenient for parents to carry and carry. The weight of adult wheel chairs is usually more than 15 kg, and some electric adult wheel chairs may be heavier.
Power wheels chairs can serve users who have completely lost the ability to walk, including lower limb paralysis, stroke sequelae, amputees, etc. The mobility scooter requires users to have good sitting stability, upper limb operation force and a certain balance ability, which is not suitable for people with severe disabilities.
A nursing bed is a medical auxiliary device designed specifically for patients or people with limited mobility who need to stay in bed for a long time. Unlike ordinary beds, nursing care beds have multiple adjustable structures, such as back lifting, leg lifting, height adjustment, and side flipping functions.
Comparison of support stability: rollator walker is better
Walking sticks mainly rely on unilateral or double-handed grip to support part of the user's weight, while rollator walkers provide a wider support surface, greatly reducing the risk of falling, especially for users with poor balance or postoperative recovery.
Unlike ordinary wheelchairs, toilet wheelchairs are usually equipped with a detachable or fixed bedpan system, which is convenient for users to defecate directly beside the bed, in the room or in the bathroom, reducing the risks and inconveniences caused by frequent transfers.
Aluminum alloy makes the overall weight of the rolling walker controlled, making it easier for users to push or carry, especially for the elderly with weak physical strength or patients in recovery, reducing additional physical exertion and improving the comfort of use.
Pros of electric wheel chairs:
1. Improve freedom of movement
2. Simple operation and low learning threshold
3. More labor-saving for long-term use
4. Diverse functional configuration
5. Improve mental health and social participation
6. More suitable for elderly users
Cons of electric wheel chairs:
1. High price, heavy economic burden
2. High maintenance cost, difficult to repair
3. Limited battery life, restricted by the use environment
4. Large size and weight, inconvenient to carry
5. High operating space requirements
6. Technical barriers may cause safety hazards
7. Not conducive to physical function training
