Selecting the Right Wheelchair For You
The right wheelchair can provide independence and comfort for those
xperiencing mobility challenges. Finding the best wheelchair to meet a user’s
needs is essential to maximising the benefit that a wheelchair can provide.
There are a few key considerations when selecting a wheelchair:
Type
There are two main types of wheelchairs, each catering to different needs:
transit and self-propelled wheelchairs.
Transit wheelchairs, also known as attendant propelled wheelchairs, are
generally lighter in weight, have smaller rear wheels and designed to be
pushed from behind.
Self-Propelled wheelchairs give users the option to push themselves or be
pushed by an attendant.
Style
Some users place an importance on the appearance of a wheelchair. The Hero
Medical range of wheelchairs has options that are both functional and stylish.
Comfort
It is important to consider the comfort of both the user and the attendant
when selecting a wheelchair.
A variety of features can contribute to comfort, including a padded seat and
backrest, cushioned armrests, and heightadjustable leg rests that can easily
be removed as needed.
Also, push handles with ergonomic hand grips aid the attendant in pushing the
chair with ease.
Weight
Different settings may have requirements that impact wheelchair weight.
Community or facility settings may require sturdier frames, which are often
heavier.
Lightweight frames are often easier to transport, such as lifting in and out
of a car.
