What to look for when shopping for a powered wheel chair.
Power chairs are electronically controlled wheelchairs. They are very useful for those who have limited mobility and wants to go around with ease. Most of them are mainly used indoors, outdoors or a combination of both. Rear or center wheel drive are available assuring you of easy maneuverability. With these great features, you may have to consider each one of them to suit your need.
First bunch of features in looking for a power chair includes travel. There are few types of portable power chairs that folds up easily for easy transport. They work well if your often travel and wishes to bring your power chair with you. They can easily fit the back of your car and can also be taken to flights. The only drawback to them is that they don't offer a lot of comfort features, so it;s not ideal if you don't plan to put your chair in your car that often.
You can find the perfect power chair whatever your needs are. There are many different features designed to make your life more comfortable. First, you can find a wheelchair that allows you to have an elevated leg rest or even a power-elevating seat. You can also choose a seat that is perfect for you. Many are available with a "captain seat" similar to those found in automobiles. These seats often offer semi-reclining backs and even headrests. You should also consider how wide the seat should be.
In addition to car travel and comfort concerns there are the capableness of the power chair on the road. Many power wheelchairs have the ability to go over rough terrain in addition to standard paved surfaces. While they are not able to handle true off road experiences they can handle dirt paths, rocky surfaces and uneven pavement with ease. Many wheelchairs can get up to 7mph and they can go for as many as 15 miles on a single battery charge. These features allow you to get out of the house and visit around the neighborhood whether it is going a few miles to see a friend or doing a little shopping near by.
While these chairs have many great features to choose from there are a few things to consider. First most wheelchairs have a maximum weight capacity. It is very important that you get a chair able to handle your weight, whatever that might be. Aiming for 50 pounds more then what you weight is a good idea. This can get harder if you are over 280 pounds as most chairs have a 300-pound maximum. However, you can find a few that are made for heavier weights.
As an addition, you will also want to be sure that you choose a power chair that has all the features that will suit your need. Choosing an indoor only electric chair while you plan to go outside is definitely not a good idea for it will just reduce the life span of your machine. Each single feature should be considered carefully to achieve maximum value for your hard earned cash.
