How To Choose a Wheelchair
This article is from our Disability Products category.
Article viewed times since being submitted on 2006-08-24. "How To Choose a Wheelchair"
By Scootamart Staff Email this article
Nowadays, wheelchairs can be cheap to purchase and are widely available, so choosing a wheelchair can be confusing. Some people will have been prescribed a specific sort of wheelchair by an Occupational Therapist whilst others might want a wheelchair for when an elderly relative comes to stay. Somebody using the wheelchair independently will require a self propelling (large wheels) model they push themselves. A self propelled, or transit wheelchair (smaller wheels) will be appropriate if the wheelchair will be pushed by an attendant. A folding wheelchair is a good choice for occasional use as they can easily be dismantled, folded and transported by car. The rear wheels will usually come off, and the back might fold down to save space. These wheelchairs are ideal for those going out for the day in the car, or perhaps for someone who can’t walk as far as they once could, but maybe don’t need to be in a wheelchair all the time. A dedicated motor can be purchased to turn the manual wheelchair into an attendant controlled powerchair making hills much less of a problem. If you are looking at a wheelchair for occasional use, the lighter it is, the easier it will be to dismantle and put in a car boot. As a very rough guide, folding wheelchairs weigh around 33-44lbs / 15-20Kg, which doesn’t sound too heavy, but remember that somebody will be pushing wheelchair, and perhaps getting it in and out of the car.

  • Rugged design ideal for the developing world Less expensive
    than traditional appropriately designed wheelchairs Built in variability to accommodate user specific needs Design maximizes bike welds to minimize fabrication time
Every detail of our wheelchair design accounts for the developing world environment for which it was made. To effect any lasting change in the developing world your product must integrate the following elements: Cost, Quality, and Sustainability. Our wheelchair accounts for all of them.
X-brace
The function of the X-brace is to collapse the wheelchair so that it takes up less volume for storage and travel. Functionally, the X-brace supports and aligns the two sides of the wheelchair and distributes the forces to its structural members. Our unique design collapses the chair over 1/3rd of its width without compromising strength and at a minimal added cost. This is achieved through the use of mathematically modeled rotating tabs, whose geometries cause the chair to lock in place when fully expanded while preserving a full range of motion.
Footrest
Tires
The terrain in the developing world is rugged and the infrastructure is not accommodating for conventional wheelchair tires. Mountain bike tires are ideal for this environment. Conventional wheelchair wheels have significantly less contact area than mountain bike tires and often little or no tread. Conventional wheels are more likely to get stuck, prematurely wear, and can even endanger the user. Conventional wheels also provide less stability on uneven terrain, increasing the likelihood of the chair tipping and causing the user extreme harm. In addition to the improved safety and functionality benefits, the tires allow for an air filled ride by absorbing significantly more shock than conventional tires.

The mountain bike tyres allow our chair to transverse rocky, uneven, and even muddy terrain that would be impossible in a regular wheelchair.

HIGH-TECH WHEELCHAIRS OFF BEATEN PATH; NEW INDUSTRY PATIENTLY AWAITS OFF-ROAD BOOM.
Byline: MARK LANGTON Cycling
The mountain bike revolutionized the cycling industry and changed the face of the sport by introducing hordes of new disciples, but its most worthwhile contribution may be to the field of adaptive recreation.
In the early '90s, designer and inventor John Castellano of Petaluma fabricated a wheelchair for a disabled friend that was part mountain bike, part go-cart. The Cobra off-road wheelchair featured a chassis with four-wheel disc brakes and a unique steering mechanism that allowed the rider to steer the chair much like an all-terrain vehicle.
Despite early success, Castellano's dream of mass producing his 4WD wheelchair was met with formidable hurdles.
``There just aren't enough people demanding this product to make the economy of scale viable,'' Castellano said. ``The market is very small, and those people who do want one don't always have a lot of money.''

    Christian Bagg : A Canadian Innovator Rolls Into the Future
    Growing up at the foot of the Canadian Rockies, Christian Bagg has always had a passion for extreme outdoor sports. Mountain biking, snowboarding, climbing and caving were all part of his regular routine. In 1996, Bagg was competing in a ‘big air' snowboard competition when a crash landing, off an icy jump, left him a T8 paraplegic. This life-changing injury meant an abrupt halt for his active lifestyle, right? Wrong! "I still do everything I want to do," says

    All-Terrain Wheelchair The Pheonix All-Terrain Wheelchair.
    Because less than one percent of the earth's surface is paved! The Phoenix is the perfect piece of equipment for the road racer or mono-skier looking for new year-round training opportunities as well as any active person looking to access more of the outdoors. It is also ideal for disabled outdoor recreation providers wishing to expand their programs. The Phoenix is the first and only full-suspension off-road wheelchair that you can buy. It has a "true" suspension which absorbs impacts from drop-offs and objects, like logs and softball sized rocks. It is equipped with two or four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes for ultimate stopping power. It incorporates adjustable ride-height, ground clearance and suspension travel for the strongest push. We have designed the front wheels to work like casters so you can push and steer from the rear wheels (like a standard chair), also contributing to a stronger push. Or use the mountainbike handlebars up front to steer and brake on the downhills. Our speed sensitive steering allows for sharp cornering and accurate, predictable handling at high speeds. Quick release wheels and the lightest, smallest frame on the market make the Phoenix even more user-friendly. The five words that best descibe the Phoenix are: fast, light, stable, comfortable and portable.

    Disability Bitch vs the countryside
    by Disability Bitch 19 July 2007 Readers, it may surprise you to learn that I am the proud owner of a Brownie Guide 'Rambler' badge. Yes, at the tender age of something like eight, I too trekked through muddy fields, climbed over stiles, trapped myself in kissing gates and got stung by wasps which flew up my trousers. It was later in life that I realised the entire point of having a mobility disability was that no one could force you to do that , and so I begun opting out of PE lessons with absurd regularity 'because my knee hurt', especially when we were doing cross country running. You see, I HATE THE COUNTRYSIDE - and don't even tell me that I don't know what I'm missing, because I grew up in one of these countrified places, and - believe me! - I do So imagine my dismay at discovering that a disabled inventor from Kent has designed an all-terrain electric buggy which will allow my wheelchair-using chums to go off road . We're not supposed to think of it as a wheelchair apparently, more a four-wheeled mountain bike. That's all well and good, but I'm seriously concerned.

Wraith Halford is 18 years old and has a rare genetic condition called Duchene Muscular Dystrophy. DMD is a degenerative condition causing progressive muscle weakness as the muscle cells breakdown and die and it is a life limiting condition with no cure or treatment. Please do go and read about DMD Since Wraith was 10 years old he has been unable to walk and has been reliant on an electrically powered wheelchair for his mobility needs. This chair is now in need of replacement. What is it for? Despite his condition Wraith is an independent young man who enjoys all the things 18 year old young men enjoy, going for a meal, the pub, cinema, going to town with his friends etc. He owes this independence to a crucial piece of equipment, an electrically powered wheelchair. Wraith had his current wheelchair 8 years ago and it is no longer suitable for his needs. Quickie Groove What is this unique event?
