Although electric wheelchairs are very popular, many consumers are still at a loss when choosing an electric wheelchair. They don’t know what kind of electric wheelchair is suitable for their elderly based on their feelings and prices. Let me tell you how to choose an electric wheelchair. !
1. Choose according to the degree of sobriety of the user’s mind
(1) For patients with dementia, history of epilepsy and other disorders of consciousness, it is recommended to choose a remote-controlled electric wheelchair or a double electric wheelchair that can be controlled by relatives, and have relatives or nurses driving the elderly to travel
(2) Elderly people who are only inconvenient in their legs and feet and have a clear mind can choose any type of electric wheelchair, which can be operated and driven by themselves, and they can travel freely
(3) For elderly friends with hemiplegia, it is best to choose an electric wheelchair with armrests on both sides that can be tilted back or detachable, so that it is convenient to get on and off the wheelchair or switch between the wheelchair and the bed.
2. Choose an electric wheelchair according to the usage scenario
(1) If you often travel, you can choose a portable electric wheelchair, which is light and easy to fold, easy to carry, and can be used on any transportation such as airplanes, subways, and buses
(2) If you choose an electric wheelchair only for daily transportation around home, then choose a traditional electric wheelchair. But be sure to choose one with electromagnetic brakes!
(3) For wheelchair users with small indoor space and lack of caregivers, they can also choose electric wheelchairs with remote control function. For example, after transferring from the wheelchair to the bed, you can use the remote control to move the wheelchair to the wall without taking up space.
