About this deal

Some areas allow the voucher to be used to rent a wheelchair on a long-term basis. This includes insurance, maintenance and repairs.

You should not be ‘squeezed’ into the chair, but have enough space to move within the seat, to rotate your upper body if possible and move your arms. Yet you also need to be supported, especially if you find maintaining your posture tiring and difficult.If you choose to self-propel with your feet, you will require a chair with a lower seat so that you feet fully reach the floor. You may also benefit from a lap strap or harness to keep you safely in the chair.

A wheelchair should add to your freedom and independence; it should enable your comfort and well-being and not limit your body movement or cause pain or pressure ulcers. Following the assessment, the statutory wheelchair service will usually offer the provision of a wheelchair in one of the following ways: Your remaining level of mobility may dictate how you get in and out of the chair and which features you may need as part of the chair. If you can still walk short distances and can stand up and sit down, you will be able to manage getting in and out of the chair without assistance. A single lever can be used by someone with the use of only one arm/hand. A dual level drive system is available. The user pushes and pulls each side alternately. It requires significant strength and stamina.

Wheelchair users also sometimes ask where they can get a set, but that question requires a much more involved answer. Wheel size, chair geometry and rolling resistance are just a few things to consider when selecting tires, and the simple act of putting wider tires on your chair can have a big impact on its fit and performance. A leg cosy or zipped sitting bag keeps your legs warm and protected from wet or windy weather. These are designed to be used instead of having a blanket over your legs, as blankets can get caught up in the wheels of your wheelchair. When you are seated in the chair, aim to keep your body as aligned as possible and not leaning to one side. Custom work is our specialty – we are masters at taking your fantasy and making it reality. Whether a modification to one of our existing pieces or something totally different our experience and excellence in craftsmanship assures that the final product will exceed your expectations. My activities tend to waver from urban wheeling to off-road, and living in California I frequently go from the temperate foothills to the snowy Sierra mountains. In my quest for maximum efficiency, I strive to always have the right tires on my chair.

The good thing about this system is that you know the tire will fit as long as the second number matches your wheel size. But. That doesn’t mean it’s always a simple swap. Remember how I said different widths change the outer diameter of a tire? That’s important for wheelchair seating. Wide = Tall Remember – however you transfer, you must ensure that you put the wheelchair brakes on before you get in or out of the chair.Most standard wheelchairs will come with a padded seat or a basic seat cushion. If you are using your chair much of the day, this may not offer enough pressure relief, even for someone who has good skin condition. You are advised to consider obtaining a cushion which offers an element of pressure relief. Look at the manufacturer’s information or ask your dealer. The user requires grip and the physical stamina to pump the lever, along with the ability to consider steering and pumping at the same time. Moulded cushions can help to maintain the hips and pelvis in good alignment. You can obtain chair inserts and cushioning which offer support at particular points if required. When propelling the wheelchair in a straight line, the user grips both hand rims in one hand equally and pushes or pulls the hand rims in the direction they wish to travel. To turn the wheelchair, the user will push or pull on one rim more than the other. Double hand rim controls require good grip, hand strength and dexterity.

The looser fit across the shoulders and upper arms is more comfortable as you self-propel your chair. Large capes and ponchos are available in waterproof fabric, acting like a mac in wet weather. They can be large enough to cover both you and the chair. Clearly, there are a lot of factors to consider when selecting tires and every decision comes with trade-offs, but taking the time to consider your tire width, weight and rolling resistance can have a huge impact on your ability to navigate your environment. Most wheelchairs can accommodate a choice of arm rest designs. They can be full length or desk style (shorter). They may be height adjustable. Some are detachable, fold up and/or down or swing away. Attachments are available which in effect turn the wheelchair into an adult tricycle. The pedal mechanism can be used by the feet or hands, depending on your ability. The chair is steered via the handlebars, just like a bicycle. Most users will require assistance fitting these attachments. Once attached, transfers in and out of the wheelchair are only possible by very able users. This section includes wheelchairs that are propelled manually, either by the wheelchair user or a carer.Most trays have a smooth wipe-clean surface with a raised edge. Some are moulded or have a cut-out circle to accommodate a cup or mug. An increasing number are made of see-through polycarbonate, which enables the user to see what’s in front at floor level. Padded trays are also available.
