Manual wheelchairs: the right to move

How can a person who has partially lost physical abilities live a full life? How to independently move around the house, the street and enjoy walking in the park? With manual wheelchairs, all this is possible. They will ensure safe movement and a comfortable stay in the seat. The design of the wheelchairs allows you to independently control the equipment and easily maneuver on any surface.

Move to live

You don't have to limit your physical activities. If you want to keep fit, then you should consider purchasing a manual stroller. So you will not only set the wheels in motion, but also perform physical exercises.

Wheelchairs have two types of manual drive:

• mechanical - the patient moves the wheelchair by acting on the hoops attached to the wheels
• lever - the movement begins when exposed to the levers. Such models are: with levers for two hands and with a lever for one hand.

If you plan to use the stroller mainly for trips on uneven surfaces, a model with rear-wheel drive will suit you. Driven front wheels provide high maneuverability.

Where and on what wheelchair to go?

The design of the stroller affects where it will be more convenient to use.

Wheelchairs with a manual mechanical drive are best used indoors or for trips over short distances. Their solid, non-inflated wheels have insufficient cushioning for trips on uneven surfaces. The same cannot be said for wheelchairs with a mechanical lever drive with inflated tires. The roughness of the road will be softened by pneumatic wheels, and you can easily move over long distances.

Want to be less tired while walking?

The comfort of a wheelchair depends on:

• size and load capacity of the structure
• possibility of adjusting the length of the levers
• frame material: lightweight aluminum or durable steel
• the possibility of adjusting the height of the armrests, the inclination of the seat, the backrest and the length of the footrests
• the presence and location of the hand brake
• wheel size, tire material
• the presence of additional components, for example, dirt-protective sidewalls.

Manual wheelchairs are designed to make life easier for people with disabilities.

They will make it brighter and more diverse.

Take care of your health and the health of those you love!

When there is a need to buy a wheelchair for the disabled, it is important to study the features of the presented models and make the right choice, taking into account the individual characteristics and needs of the patient. How much a wheelchair costs is determined by what type it is, what options are provided by its design. There are usually two main types of these devices:

Manual wheelchairs

Such a wheelchair for the disabled is driven by the muscular strength of the arms. At the same time, the ability to move with the help of an attendant is also preserved - for this, handles are placed on the back. Hand wheelchairs are equipped with large diameter rear wheels. They have an outer rim, so you can spin the wheels without touching the tires, which can get dirty. It is necessary to buy a wheelchair with a manual drive if the patient has a partial dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system, but can move independently in the wheelchair.

Manual wheelchairs come in a wide range of models. The developers of rehabilitation equipment are constantly improving the characteristics of their products, striving to make them more reliable and convenient.

Armchairs for the disabled room and walking

Suppose you need to purchase a manual model. Now it is necessary to consider in what conditions it will be operated. You can choose a wheelchair for home use or for outdoor use. They differ in the type of tires. Indoor strollers have solid tires, and strollers are equipped with wheels with pneumatic tires. The difference is due to the nature of the surface on which the wheelchair moves.

Pneumatic tires are better suited for street surfaces, they dampen road irregularities well, providing the owner with a higher level of comfort. The disadvantage of such tires is their lower reliability and the need for periodic pumping. Cast tires for home strollers do not require this maintenance, but they do not have good shock-absorbing characteristics. Under different conditions of use, you should choose different strollers to avoid inconvenience during operation.

Features and benefits of mechanical strollers

In the MET catalog you will find modifications:

For home. This wheelchair has cast wheels and is designed to move on a flat hard surface. They are usually bought for use at home and moving inside the building of medical institutions, since it is not comfortable to ride on all-rubber wheels on asphalt or paving slabs.

For the street. They have pneumatic wheels with inflatable chambers. Due to this, the stroller ride is softer - stones, bumps, branches and other obstacles on the way do not interfere with a comfortable ride. Pneumatic wheels provide better vibration absorption. Some modifications have belts that provide a secure fit in the chair.

Folding models. This option is needed for those users who travel on business in a car. The folding mechanism allows you to make the equipment compact, and it fits in the trunk of even a small car.

For narrow openings. Such wheelchairs are bought in Moscow and other cities for patients who have to go daily to the elevator, narrow doorways, and the door of an airplane. Or for those who live in a small apartment.

With high or folding back. The stroller of this modification is used by people who have health problems with the musculoskeletal system, who spend the whole day in a sitting position. Reclining the backrest, you can relax in a horizontal position without moving to the bed.

Wheelchairs of active type. Such chairs are chosen by people whose illness does not allow predicting the refusal of the chair and who are forced to treat the unit as a continuation of their own body. The best design solutions and the most modern materials for wheelchairs in this class.

Passive wheelchairs. Wheelchairs for people with a serious degree of immobility, quadriparesis, etc., designed for a long stay of the user of the seat, moving the chair to the horizontal and individually selected accessories based on the specifics of the disease.

The cost of a mechanical wheelchair is lower than that of electric chairs. Therefore, it is popular among users with disabilities.
