The elderly are often inconvenient to move and need to use wheelchair. There are some similarities between manual wheelchair and electric wheelchair. Summarize the two methods of using wheelchair correctly, and share with you:
First, the expansion and folding of wheelchair
Unfolding: hold the handle with both hands and gently pull it to both sides to separate the left and right frame slightly. Press the palm down on both sides of the cushion to the positioning position, and then the wheelchair will unfold and lay flat on its own. When unfolding, please do not pull the left and right frames to avoid damaging the components. When pressing down on the seat cushion, do not hold the left and right support tubes with your fingers to avoid pinching your fingers.
Folding: turn up the left and right pedals first, hold the two ends of the cushion with two hands and lift them up to fold them.
Folding of toilet chair: take off the toilet and seat cushion, and then fold it
Second, manual wheelchair operation
1. Get in the car
1) Lay the vehicle flat on the ground;
2) Pull the parking brake and brake the left and right rear wheels
3) Put the foot pedal away, move close to the wheelchair, hold the left and right armrests, and slowly reach the cushion;
4) After the person sits in the wheelchair, unfolds the pedal, places the foot on the pedal, and fastens the safety belt;
5) Release the parking brake to push.
2. Driving
1) In the process of driving, if there is an obstacle, the nursing staff should hold the gloves with both hands and step on the foot cover at the same time to make the front wheel lift over the obstacle. When the rear wheel touches the obstacle, both hands should hold the glove tightly and lift the rear wheel upward to cross the obstacle
2) In the process of driving, in case of large obstacles or steps, it is necessary for two people to hold the frames on both sides of the wheelchair and lift the wheelchair horizontally over the obstacle.
3) When going down the slope, you should hold hands and push the circle with both hands to control the downhill speed. If the slope is too steep, it needs to be controlled by the nursing staff. The nursing staff should go backward slowly down the slope, and the upward slope is the normal implementation.
Third, get off the bus
A) Apply the parking brake
B) Turn up the pedal
C) Keep your feet on the ground
D) Release the seat belt
E) Hold the armrest or help the nurse to stand out of the wheelchair
Fourth, the adjustment of pedal height
1) There are four adjusting holes on the foot pedal, and the height of each section is 75px, which can be adjusted to the appropriate height according to the height and leg length of the passengers. The height of the pedal is not less than 125px from the ground
2) Loosen and take out the fixing bolts on the pedal with the hexagon wrench
3) Adjust the foot pedal to the hole with appropriate height, and put on the bolt to lock it
Fifth, maintenance and maintenance
1) Before using the wheelchair, check the screws and spokes of the front wheel, rear wheel, parking brake and other parts. If there is any looseness, please lock it (due to transportation turbulence and other reasons, the screw of wheelchair may be loosened)
2.) check whether the tire inflation is normal. If there is insufficient air, please inflate it in time. The inflation method is the same as that of bicycle
3.) during the use of the wheelchair, it is necessary to check whether the mobility, screws and rear wheel spokes of each part are loose every month. If they are loose, they should be locked in time to avoid potential safety hazards
4.) lubricating oil should be added to the moving parts every week to prevent inflexibility
5.) after the wheelchair is used, the water vapor and dirt on the surface shall be wiped off with a soft dry cloth to prevent rust
6.) the wheelchair should be stored in a dry place to avoid damp and rust; the cushion and back should be kept clean to prevent bacteria
matters needing attention
1. It is forbidden to step on the foot pedal to get on or off the wheelchair
2. It is forbidden to get on or off the wheelchair without braking the parking brake
3. It is strictly forbidden to use the parking brake when the wheelchair is driving, especially when going downhill, so as to avoid personal injury caused by rollover; check the fastener of wheelchair every month, and tighten it in time if it is loose.
