Why You Might Consider a Power Wheelchair
Overview
Wheelchairs are essential tools designed to assist those who have difficulty moving independently. Over time, these devices have evolved from simple manual designs to motorized versions that significantly increase mobility and independence. Today, there are two primary types of wheelchairs: manual and power (or electric) wheelchairs. Leading manufacturers include Invacare and Whirlwind Wheelchair International.
Understanding Power Wheelchairs
A power wheelchair is an electric-powered mobility device designed for individuals who may not have the strength to propel a manual wheelchair. These motorized wheelchairs are battery-operated and require regular recharging.
Types of Power Wheelchairs
Folding Lightweight Power Wheelchair
These wheelchairs resemble manual wheelchairs but include dual motors and rechargeable batteries, making them perfect for indoor use. Controlled with a joystick, they are ideal for navigating tight spaces. For users who cannot move their hands, alternative control options like breath or mouth devices are available. However, they may not be safe for outdoor use.
Lightweight Power-Assisted Wheelchair
Typically used in the same way as manual wheelchairs, these models provide electric assistance when needed, such as during inclines or when the user is fatigued. They offer a balance between manual mobility and power support, ideal for users seeking some physical exercise.
Non-Folding Stand-Up Power Wheelchair
This model helps individuals stand up, aiding in face-to-face conversations and domestic tasks. While lacking casters makes them challenging in tight spaces, their stand-up feature is useful on flat surfaces.
Outdoor Power Wheelchair
Specifically designed for rural areas, these robust wheelchairs can weigh up to 500 pounds, making them less suitable for indoor use. They perform exceptionally well outside and in spaces like public buildings or hospitals.
Indoor Stair-Climbing Power Wheelchair
Engineered for navigating apartments and public buildings, these wheelchairs offer stair-climbing capabilities alongside standard features, enhancing indoor mobility.
Combined Indoor-Outdoor Power Wheelchair
This hybrid aims to merge indoor and outdoor features to save on costs and storage. However, they often come with safety limitations and may not perform all functions optimally.
