How To Measure For Wheelchair

The overall width of different types of wheelchairs is different from other dimensions. Anyone buying a wheelchair should pay attention to knowledge of some basic dimensions, such as the overall width and the size of the seat. You should first understand where you live. After identifying the smallest and narrowest doorways, passages, etc., or any place you can think of or imagine will become what you pass. At home, most of the bathroom doors or narrow corridors restrict wheelchair access. Heavier users with wider chairs may see obstacles at every turn.

For most chairs, please use the following formula to determine the total width of the wheelchair: transport wheelchairs are generally seat width + 3", standard folding wheelchairs are generally seat width + 8", reclining wheelchairs are generally seat width + 8", weight-loss wheelchairs The seat width is generally + 8", the standard wheelchair with 18" wide seats is generally 18", and the seat width is generally + 8" = 26" total width.

Buyers are requested to carefully check the specification page of each product to obtain the precise size. The user is only required to measure the width and depth of the seat when measuring transport wheelchairs, standard wheelchairs and most light wheelchairs. In some cases, for those patients who want to push the chair with their feet, the height of the chair to the floor.

How to buy a wheelchair:

Reduce the selection category to chair types. Choose your wheelchair based on the needs of patients and nursing staff. If you need to push the patient all the time, you only need a lighter transport wheelchair. The patient must use a standard wheelchair with a larger rear wheel to propel himself. If you configure a chair, most wheelchair product pages allow you to configure it. According to the seat width and depth and any other information must be selected.
