What are the tips for purchasing electric wheelchairs?

When buying a lightweight wheelchair, pay attention to the seat width: measure the distance between the hips or between the two strands when sitting down. After adding 5cm, there is a gap of 2.5cm on each side after sitting down. The seat is too narrow, it is difficult to get on and off the wheelchair, but the hip and thigh tissues are compressed; the seat is too wide, it is difficult to sit firmly, it is inconvenient to operate the wheelchair, the limbs are easy to fatigue, and it is difficult to enter and exit the gate. Seat length of an electric wheelchair: Measure the horizontal distance from the hip to the calf gastrocnemius when sitting down, and reduce the measurement result by 6.5cm. If the seat is too short, the weight will mainly fall on the sit bones, which will easily cause excessive local pressure; if the seat is too long, it will compress the popliteal area and affect the local blood circulation, and it is easy to irritate the skin. For patients with short thighs or flexion contractures of the hips and knees, it is better to use a short seat. The seat height of a lightweight wheelchair: measure the distance from the heel (or heel) to the popliteal socket when sitting down, plus 4cm. When placing the pedals, the board should be at least 5cm above the ground. If the seat is too high, the wheelchair cannot enter the table; if the seat is too low, the seat bones will bear too much weight. The seat cushion of electric wheelchair In order to be comfortable and prevent bedsores, a seat cushion should be placed on the chair of the wheelchair. Common cushions are foam rubber cushions (5-10cm thick) or gel cushions. To prevent the seat from sinking, a 0.6cm thick plywood can be placed under the cushion.

What are the common failures of electric wheelchairs?

The battery of a lightweight wheelchair is the key to driving. The battery of high-end electric wheelchairs has a relatively high price in the market. Therefore, in the process of using electric wheelchairs, battery maintenance is very important. The problem that the battery is prone to be that there is no way to charge and it is not durable after charging. First, if the battery cannot be charged, check whether the charger is normal, and then check the fuse. Small problems basically occur in these two places. Secondly, the battery is not durable after charging, and the battery is worn out during normal use. Everyone should know this; the battery life will gradually weaken over time, which is normal battery loss; if it occurs suddenly Endurance problems are generally caused by the excessive discharge. Therefore, in the process of using the electric wheelchair, the battery must be diligent in maintenance. In the control parts of the lightweight wheelchair, the brake is a very important part, which is closely related to the personal safety of the user. Therefore, every time you use an electric wheelchair, you must check whether the brakes are normal. The reason why the brakes often fail is caused by the clutch and the rocker. Every time you travel with a lightweight wheelchair, check whether the clutch is in the "gear ON" position, and then check whether the rocker of the controller bounces back to the middle position. If it is not for these two reasons, it is necessary to consider whether the clutch or controller is damaged, then repair it in time, and avoid using a lightweight wheelchair when the brake is damaged.
