A fold up wheelchair is used for a bed-ridden patient. It comprises mainly of a chair which has a back rest and the main body of the chair can be folded upward and downward. The chair has some frames at the back and the rear legs are attached and connected to the frame. The legs can be rotated to push the frame forward and backward.

In this way the patient can be moved from a sitting position to a horizontal position, or the other way around. The chair or stroller which is occupied by the patient can be brought down, folded or specially adapted for portability. The movement of the various parts of the chair is electrically operated.

The material used for ultralight folding wheelchairs today is titanium. This material is light, strong and yet very durable. The metal has natural built-in shock absorption. Titanium wheelchairs are expensive and it takes about 10 to 14 days to build them, but they look very special. They are definitely the best choice as far as quality is concerned.

Many companies take direct orders online, or you can call them and order the ultralight folding wheelchair with your specifications. They are non-returnable, as they are manufactured only to order. In case the wheelchair is damaged when it arrives, or is not what you had ordered, the correct one will be sent back to you.

In this way the patient could be transferred from the bed to the wheelchair without much complication. Then the back of the chair went up again and the patient could be moved to the bath or the toilet, like moving him in a normal ultra light folding wheelchair. He could be given a bath on the wheel chair, but the screw shafts started rusting due to the hot water.

There are folding electric wheelchairs which fold easily for travel or storage to about 13 inches wide for easy transport. Such folding wheelchairs are good for moderate use and run on batteries. The folding electric wheelchair from Invacare is designed to fold into the car trunk for ease of travel. Otherwise it can be stored conveniently in small spaces, when it is not being used. You can manoeuvre it quite easily into tight spaces.

The fold up wheelchair also helps the patient to use the toilet by having a seat frame attached to the fold-up wheelchair and a toilet hole below it, which can be opened and closed also with the help of a motor.

Ultralight folding wheelchairs are the best as far as performance and durability are concerned. Ensure that you get the right wheelchair for yourself, so that mobility becomes a comfort for you.
