Choosing a wheelchair can be a daunting task. In this video, we will talk you through five considerations to help you make the right choice for your needs.
Your sizing is off. Adding 2” to the width is far too much. The model you used is seated in a chair far too wide for him. This causes increased wear and tear of the shoulders and elbows while self propelling and also promotes poor posture when sitting for a long time. The chair should only have about 1-2cm between the hips and clothing guards when the user is wearing normal clothes. This provides an appropriate fit.
