So it is very important that your wheelchair fits right so that you are comfortable and can move freely. We all have our own tips to enjoy riding in our wheelchairs!
Figuring Out the Correct Seat Location
The initial step is establishing the ideal position of your seat. Sit with your back sitting upright on the backrest in your wheelchair. Your knees should be at a right angle (think of the corner of a square) and your feet should rest comfortably on the footrests. Keep your hips all the way back in the seat and your weight distributed evenly.
How to Make Armrests and Footrests Adjustable
Moving on, we can fix the armrests and the footrests. Your armrests should be at a height that allows your shoulders to relax and your elbows to bend at a right angle. Your foot rests should be positioned so your feet lie flat on the footrest with a slight bend in your knees.
Sitting Straight in Your Wheelchair
Rehabilitation Equipment Series is crucial for being comfortable and avoiding soreness. Sit tall in your chair, with your spine pressing against the backrest. Your head should be in the same line as your shoulders and your hips should be back in the seat. Keep your feet flat on the footrests, and allow your arms to rest on the armrests.
Checking Your Seat Cushion
A good seat cushion is vital for comfort and prevention of sores. Ensure your seat cushion fits you comfortably! It needs to be firm enough to support you yet soft enough to be comfy. Keep a check on your cushion regularly that it remains fine to use.
Improving the Functionality of Your Wheelchair
Lastly, Medical Device Series have a few minor modifications in your wheelchair so that it is more comfortable and easy to move. You put the seat belt in to keep people from being hurt, and you put extra padding in to make riding more comfortable, and you put special wheels on for different kinds of ground. If you need to make changes, discuss them with your doctor or therapist.
These tips will help you fine-tune your wheelchair so that it is comfortable and moves well. And don’t forget to discuss with your doctor or therapist frequently enough to ensure your wheelchair remains just right for you. Enjoy rolling around!
