Wheelchair selection knowledge
1, performance. The performance of wheelchairs includes:
such as maximum speed, brake, battery life, balance, etc., which can be learned from the product introduction.
2. Service.
Wheelchairs will inevitably fail during use. When purchasing a wheelchair, you should pay attention to whether there is a manufacturer's warranty and whether there is after-sales maintenance service.
3. Is the design comfortable?

4. Price.
Currently, there are many domestic wheelchairs used by the elderly, with prices ranging from 4,500 to 13,000. The price of imported wheelchairs is relatively high, basically above 10,000 yuan. When purchasing, it is best to compare wheelchairs of the same brand and the same model.
5. Material and lightness.
According to the material of the wheelchair, it can be divided into: aluminum alloy, steel pipe and iron. Nowadays, wheelchairs on the market are generally made of aluminum alloy. (Many people think that the material of steel pipes is stronger than aluminum alloys. In fact, this is not the case. Nowadays, aluminum alloys used in wheelchairs are made of high-strength aluminum alloys. This material not only has the advantages of being strong and durable steel pipes, but also lightweight. It avoids the disadvantages of bulky steel pipe materials).
Wheelchair cleaning and maintenance
1. First of all, the wheelchair must be inspected regularly to check whether the bolts of the wheelchair are loose. If there is looseness, they must be tightened in time. In normal use of wheelchairs, inspections are generally carried out every three months to ensure that all parts are good and check various sturdy nuts on the wheelchair (especially the fixing nuts of the rear wheel axle). If they are found to be loose, they must be adjusted and tightened in time to avoid the patient's screws loose during the ride, causing the patient to be injured.
2. If the wheelchair car is wet from rain during use, it should be wiped dry in time. During normal use, you should also often wipe the wheelchair with a soft and soft cloth and apply anti-rust wax to keep the wheelchair bright and beautiful for a long time.
3. Clean the wheelchair regularly. Wheelchairs are transportation tools used by patients to exercise and participate in activities in daily life, and are very important to patients. Moreover, wheelchairs will become dirty when used frequently, so you should clean the wheelchair frequently to ensure that it is clean and tidy.

If the wheelchair does not regularly check the wheelchair, and when the flexibility of the wheelchair decreases, it will hinder the patient's daily physical exercise and life. Therefore, the wheelchair should be inspected regularly and then applied lubricant to ensure the flexibility of the wheelchair.
