How do I measure the seat width and depth of a wheelchair?
The seat width and depth of the wheelchair are the priority factors that need to be considered when choosing a wheelchair, which determines the size of the wheelchair and the ease of access to public places.
These two dimensions are very easy to measure according to the method shown in the video. However, for users with high adaptation requirements, in the actual measurement process, there are often situations where a wheelchair with correct data is not easy to use in real life due to different understandings, usage Xi and other factors.
We recommend that the measurer fully consider the fat thickness on both sides of the user's hip joint, the strength of the bony process, spring and summer, the user's dressing Xi habits, sitting Xi habits, and whether there are requirements for correcting the sitting posture on the basis of mastering the correct measurement method, and then appropriately increase or decrease the basic data.
How do I measure the calf length and backrest height required for my wheelchair?
The calf length of the wheelchair not only determines the user's degree, but also the appropriate length and full weight bearing on the footrest will also reduce pressure on the ischial tuberosity and hips, helping to prevent pressure ulcers.
The factory setting of the optional wheelchair will reserve an adjustment degree of about 5 cm according to the measurement data, so that the user will not be affected when changing shoes. Generally, the optional wheelchair will provide several options according to the user's average height and high probability needs, and the results of the user's backrest height measurement are compared with the height options provided by the wheelchair, and the closest one can be selected.
How do you measure the front and rear seat height of a wheelchair?
In most wheelchair adaptation processes, users do not consider the height of the front and rear seats of the wheelchair, but basically choose the standard height.
However, for active users with high adaptation requirements, the stability provided by the high front and rear seats of the wheelchair is crucial due to the high level of the wheelchair. For example, for every 1 cm increase or decrease in the height of the front seat compared with the height of the back seat, the wheelchair will move back and forth, which will affect the user's driving Xi, so the sports wheelchair adaptation must repeatedly confirm the height of the front and rear seats of the wheelchair.
summary
All in all, the basic data measurement method of wheelchair is very simple, but there are many factors to consider when the measurement is accurate and appropriate.
In addition to this, we have three basic principles for wheelchair selection:
Safety first;
The user's experience when using it is secondary;
If the size of the custom-made product does not fully meet the user's size requirements, the optional accessories will be considered to make up for the corresponding functions after the wheelchair is selected.
