What are the different types of manual wheelchairs available?
Health Marketplace NZ offers standard manual wheelchairs, lightweight transit wheelchairs, ultra-light wheelchairs, reclining wheelchairs, and bariatric wheelchairs for different mobility needs.
How do I choose the right wheelchair size?
Measure sitting height, hip width, and leg length. Check that a hand fits between armrest and thigh, and two fingers fit behind knee to seat for proper wheelchair sizing.
How do I fold and unfold a manual wheelchair?
To fold, lift under the center seat upholstery. To unfold, tilt slightly and press down on seat rails while keeping hands clear of moving parts.
What are swing-away legrests and why are they important?
Swing-away legrests allow the wheelchair to get closer to transfer surfaces and equipment, making transfers easier and safer for wheelchair users.
Can I adjust the legrest length on wheelchairs?
Yes, footplate height is adjustable. Loosen the bolt, adjust position so knees and hips are level, then retighten securely for proper wheelchair positioning.
Why should I not remove anti-tippers from my wheelchair?
Anti-tippers are essential wheelchair safety features that prevent backward tipping on inclines. Health Marketplace NZ recommends keeping them attached at all times.
What is the ideal backrest height for a wheelchair?
The backrest should end just under the shoulder blades. Adjustable backrests are recommended, especially when using wheelchair cushions.
What maintenance does my manual wheelchair need?
Check tire pressure monthly, clean axles from debris, ensure smooth castor movement, test brake effectiveness, and tighten all nuts and bolts regularly.
What are the benefits of height-adjustable armrests?
Height-adjustable armrests ensure proper 90-degree elbow positioning, prevent shoulder problems, and allow better access under tables and trays.
What is the difference between transit and self-propelling wheelchairs?
Transit wheelchairs have smaller wheels and are designed to be pushed by caregivers. Self-propelling wheelchairs have large rear wheels for independent use.
