What are the different types of manual wheelchairs and their main differences?
Health Marketplace NZ offers five main types: Standard Manual (durable, general-use for self-propelling or caregiver pushing), Transit (lightweight with smaller wheels for caregiver pushing), Lightweight & Ultra-Lightweight (easier propulsion for active users), Tilt-in-Space & Reclining (postural support with different adjustment mechanisms), and Bariatric (heavy-duty with higher weight capacity and reinforced frames).
How do I properly fold and unfold a manual wheelchair?
To fold: lift up under the center seat upholstery. To unfold: tilt slightly to one side and press down on seat rails, keeping fingers clear of moving parts. Always refer to your specific wheelchair manual for detailed instructions as models may vary.
How do I determine the correct wheelchair size?
Key measurements: sitting height, hip width, leg length, and user weight. Quick checks: ensure a hand fits between armrest and thigh, and two fingers fit behind knee to seat edge. Proper fit prevents pressure areas and ensures comfort.
Why are swing-away legrests important and how do I adjust them?
Swing-away legrests allow closer access to transfer surfaces, making transfers safer. To adjust length: loosen bolt under legrest, position footplate so knees and hips are at same angle, then retighten. Proper adjustment prevents thigh pressure and ensures comfort.
Why are anti-tippers essential safety features?
Anti-tippers prevent backward tipping on inclines or during weight shifts. Health Marketplace NZ strongly recommends never removing them as they provide essential protection against dangerous falls, especially on ramps and uneven surfaces.
What is the ideal wheelchair backrest height?
Backrest should end just under the shoulder blade. Adjustable height backrests are recommended, especially when cushions haven't been selected, as cushions affect overall seating height and optimal positioning for comfort and support.
What are the benefits of adjustable armrests?
Adjustable armrests accommodate different user sizes and cushion heights, enable table access, proper tray positioning, and prevent shoulder problems by supporting forearms with elbows at 90 degrees for optimal comfort and posture.
What maintenance does my wheelchair need?
Monthly checks: verify tire pressure matches sidewall indicators, clean axles of debris, ensure smooth castor movement, test brake effectiveness, and check all nuts and bolts are secure. Follow your user manual for specific requirements.
What advice do you have for choosing the right wheelchair?
Try multiple models before deciding. Visit trained dealers who stock various models for in-person comparison. Our dealer staff can help you find the right size wheelchair within your price range for your specific mobility needs and lifestyle.
