Ultra Lightweight Self Propelled Wheelchair Ultra lightweight self propelled wheelchairs let you move comfortably and with confidence giving you freedom and independence. Ideal for use all the time, these wheelchairs can reduce stress on both the user and caregiver. The most important thing is to select the right chair with seating components that meet the client's postural requirements and are as light as they can be. Comfort The specialised design of our ultra light wheelchairs gives users the highest comfort, reducing the stress on their bodies and caregivers. Features include movable footrests that can be folded down or moved out of the way to allow for safer and more comfortable transfers into and out of the chair. The chair has been designed ergonomically to support and posture while soft-touch fabric sides provide a comfortable grip. There are also options to personalise the wheelchair with a choice of upholstery colours to suit your personal style and character. A wheelchair is an essential mobility aid that can allow you to live more independently and continue to take part in your favorite activities. It's vital that you select the right wheelchair for your requirements. If you're unsure of the options Our team is there to help you. Wheelchairs are available in various sizes to meet your needs and are constructed from durable materials for long-lasting performance. A basic wheelchair is ideal for people who weigh up to 300 pounds. It can be self-propelled or driven by a caregiver if energy levels are low. The majority of standard wheelchairs come with two large rear wheels and four smaller front casters that serve as steering wheels and for stability. These types of wheelchairs require a significant amount of effort to push and can strain both the user and caregivers over time. Because of this, they're best suited for short-term use or for travel. The lightweight wheelchairs are made from lighter materials, like aluminum. They are also more maneuverable than heavier models. This makes them easier to push by caregivers and users. They're also designed to fold compactly and can be easily transported in vehicles, making them a convenient solution for everyday use or for travel. The light weight of the frame of the wheelchair also makes it easier for users to move into and out of the chair, eliminating the frustration that is a common issue for many. To make it easier to use, there are features like adjustable brake controls, a simple seat height adjustment and an easy folding mechanism that allows the wheelchair to fold in just a few seconds. Mobility Our Ultra lightweight wheelchair is equipped with many features that are designed to make mobility and transportation of this chair more convenient. The front wheels can be raised by a caregiver with two stepper tubes. The rear tyres feature long reach brakes that are easily activated by the user or caregiver to reduce speed and provide secure parking. The 20cm (8”) solid Polyurethane (PU), front tyres offer easy maneuverability on different surfaces. They are durable and low maintenance. Our research has revealed that rigid ultra-lightweight frames have higher propulsion efficiency in comparison to folding frame wheelchairs when measured over carpet and concrete. The performance of a wheelchair is significantly affected by its components, including the casters and tires, as well as its environment and usage. The environment of a wheelchair can cause vibrational forces, impact loads and inertial torques which are not captured in the current tests for wheelchair failure [1010. Real-world mobility is characterized as a series of short, slow stretches with frequent stops, turns and even starts. This type of mobility is usually not evident in current tests of wheelchair failures, since it is rarely done on the same surface over the same time. We instrumented a convenience sample of wheelchair users with a seat switch to measure their level of occupancy, and an accelerometer to track their daily movements. The results of this study demonstrated that the majority of participants rode only 1.7 km per day on average and speedy (>1 milliseconds) and lengthy (>2 min) bouts were uncommon. This study highlights the importance of focusing on maneuverability when prescribing and educating wheelchairs. The results also revealed that a wheelchair could improve its overall efficiency by using frames and tires that are lighter however, any further weight reductions will not boost its propulsion efficiency in any significant way. The reason is that weight increases metabolic costs because of vibration, flexion and the relative motions of removable, loosely-attached parts like footrests. When compared against concrete the addition of 5 kg to the weight of the frame does not have a significant impact on its energy efficiency. User-Friendliness Its appeal is due to the ease of use. Being reliant on others to get you to places is a major limitation for a lot of wheelchair users and having the freedom to go where you want and when you want is essential to maintain your independence. You can go shopping, visit friends, or pursue your favorite hobbies and interests without needing someone to take you there. One of the most important factors in determining how easy it is to push a wheelchair is its wheel size. The size of the wheel is an important factor in determining how simple it is to push the wheelchair. The smaller front casters are easier to push than the larger rear wheels as they require less force to travel the same distance. These benefits are available to those who choose a lightweight wheelchair. They are more maneuverable and can be utilized in tight spaces. self propelled wheelchair with elevated leg rest lets you cross bridges and kerbs which would normally be a problem for regular wheelchairs. This lets you access areas in your community or home that were previously unaccessible, like cobbled or grassy surfaces. Another thing to think about is whether you'll be using the wheelchair by yourself or with an attendant. If you are planning to to use the wheelchair for long durations without assistance from an attendant, Spinlife recommends selecting a Basic or Lightweight Wheelchair. If you will be relying on an attendant to help you, we suggest that you look at the features of a Transport Chair or our Heavy Duty options. Our ultra-lightweight self-propelled wheelchairs can be folded down and removed easily making them easy to transport, store and clean. They can be tucked away in the boot of a car and they are also an excellent option for those who need to travel for long distances since they can be easily rolled into hotels and restaurants. These chairs have footrests that can be turned or swung to make it easier to get in and out. Customisation Wheelchairs come with a range of standard features. However they can be modified to meet the needs of each individual user. Some models feature removable footrests which can be folded or swung away to make it easier and safer to transfer into and out of a wheelchair. Some models offer various armrests and seat heights to reduce shoulder strain. Another option is to look at wheelchairs that feature suspension. This is especially important for people who spend long hours in their wheelchair. It will reduce the vibrations transmitted through the frame that could cause discomfort. This can also make the wheelchair more robust and capable of handling a range of types of terrain. The suspension of a wheelchair can reduce the effort needed to propel them. They are more efficient in transferring energy through the wheels into forward motion. This reduces stress for both the person using the wheelchair and their caregiver especially when they have to push the chair for long distances or up steep slopes. They are more affordable than standard manual wheelchairs, making them ideal for those who are on a budget. However, it is still important to speak with a medical professional, since they can recommend the best wheelchair for your needs. The class of complex rehabilitation equipment includes ultralight, light and pediatric manual chairs. This means that they are generally recommended by a Healthcare Professional who has ATP (Assistive Technologist) accreditation. They can evaluate your needs, recommend appropriate equipment, and then submit the necessary paperwork to get the necessary funding approval for a brand new wheelchair. After your wheelchair is ordered and delivered, it can be brought to your residence for you to start using straight away.
