Wheelchair’s are mobility aids designed to assist those who face difficulties walking or standing for extended periods. They typically consist of a seat, backrest, footrests, and two large wheels the user can manually propel or operate via an electric motor.
Wheelchairs give users greater mobility and independence by allowing them to participate in activities they might not be able to do otherwise.
They’re commonly used by people with physical disabilities, like spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and amputations, as well as by people with mobility issues resulting from age or illness.
We sell a variety of wheelchairs:
- Transit Wheelchairs: Transit wheelchairs can help users transition from their chairs into a car or any other vehicle. They are lightweight, portable and often foldable.
- Self-Propelled Wheelchairs: Self-propelled wheelchairs are mainly for users who still have the use of their upper or lower body. Users can move around independently by manually propelling the wheels with their hands.
- Lightweight Wheelchairs: Lightweight wheelchairs are easy to manoeuvre and carry because they are manufactured using light materials, like aluminium or titanium. They are great for transporting and are often manually driven.
- Sports Wheelchairs: Sports wheelchairs are specialised manual wheelchairs designed for athletic activities. They are designed to be lightweight, manoeuvrable, and durable.
- Children's Wheelchairs: We also stock a range of children’s wheelchairs.
- Electric Wheelchairs: Electric wheelchairs are powered via a motorised battery. They typically have a control panel on one of the armrests that allows the user to control the direction and speed of the chair.
To choose a wheelchair, you need to consider several factors:
- Purpose: Consider your intended use for the wheelchair. Will you be using it indoors, outdoors, or both?
- Mobility: Your level of mobility will play a role in selecting the right wheelchair. If you have limited upper body strength, for example, a lightweight manual wheelchair may not be the best option. In that case, an electric wheelchair may be more appropriate.
- Body size and weight: Your body size and weight will impact the type of wheelchair you need.
- Comfort: Consider the comfort features of the wheelchair, such as the seat and backrest. Look for a wheelchair with adjustable features that you can customise to your preferred position.
- Portability: If you plan to travel with your wheelchair frequently, consider a lightweight and portable option.
- Budget: Wheelchairs can vary significantly in price. Consider your budget when selecting a wheelchair, and look for a model that offers the features you need at a price you can afford.
Using a wheelchair can have countless benefits:
- Greater Independence: Wheelchairs give those with impaired mobility more freedom to move around. They can often perform daily activities easier, without relying on others for assistance.
- Improved Posture: Many wheelchairs are designed to improve users' posture and positioning, which can be particularly beneficial for those with spinal cord injuries or conditions affecting the spine.
- Reduced Pain and Fatigue: Those with certain injuries or medical conditions may find standing or walking exhausting. Wheelchairs can alleviate pain or discomfort by providing a comfortable seat and reducing the strain on the body.
Yes, you can travel easily with a lightweight, transit or foldable wheelchair. These models are designed with portability in mind and are manufactured to be easily manoeuvrable and lightweight.
