Wheelchairs and transport chairs enable those who are permanently or temporarily disabled to be more mobile, so that they can easily move around their homes and when out in public. With wheelchairs, disabled individuals can gain greater independence in the home and go more places with minimal assistance. If you or someone you love is in need of a transport chair or wheelchair, Walgreens can help you to get the ideal model for your or their needs at a competitive price. There are two main types of rolling chairs that are used as mobility aids: transport chairs and wheelchairs. Both types feature supports for the feet, arm rests and four wheels, but they are designed to be operated differently. Transport chairs are for pushing an injured or disabled person. This type is ideal for individuals who are unable to move the wheelchair on their own and must rely on a caregiver for assistance. Wheelchairs can be operated by pushing the large back wheels on either side of the chair or by using a hand control in the case of a power or motorized chair.
Many wheelchair models also have handles on the back, so that they can be pushed by a caregiver as well. Many different types of wheelchairs are available on the market to meet the needs of those who require a mobility aid. Some wheelchairs fold or collapse for easy transport when on the go, and this type may be called a folding or travel wheelchair. You can purchase wheelchairs that have reclining seats and leg supports and bars for providing extra support for the body. Bariatric wheelchairs are designed for individuals who require an extra strong mobility device to accommodate their body weight. When you're comparing wheelchairs to purchase for yourself or for a loved one, there are many things that you'll need to consider beyond what type is right for your needs. The size and turning radius will affect how easy it is to maneuver the wheelchair to do activities like playing sports and to navigate certain settings like crowded stores. Smaller chairs are generally easier to steer, but they can be less stable.
You'll also need to consider if the type of seat that the wheelchair has is adequate for supporting the body and is likely to protect the skin. The type of tires will determine which types of terrains the wheelchair will be able to safely travel. Your doctor can help you determine which wheelchair features are essential for ensuring your safety or the safety of your loved one. Depending on your needs or the needs of your loved one, you may wish to purchase wheelchair and transport chair accessories. Special seat pads and cushions can help to alleviate discomfort, improve posture and reduce the risk of pressure sores. Cup holders and storage solutions can be added to a wheelchair, and there are also trays and desks that can be used for writing, reading, eating and completing other tasks.
