Wheelchair With Folding Arms A wheelchair with folding arm gives you more flexibility and convenience This feature lets the chair horizontally fold minimizing its size and making it easier to store away and transport in cars A lot of these wheelchairs come with swingaway elevating footrests and padding nylon upholstery They also come with 8 1 solid front casters for smooth and durable gliding across most surfaces Vertical Folding Wheelchairs are built with a variety of features to ensure security and comfort They usually include an adjustable lumbar cushion This lets the user change the supports height so that it is more in line with their spine which can help alleviate pain from pressure on different parts of their body including the coccyx spine and the bottom The ability of a wheelchair to switch from manual to power mode is a common feature This can be accomplished by flipping a lever located near the back wheels foldable wheelchair for travel will turn the chair into manual mode meaning that it wont be powered by motors but is more mobile To power the chair simply turn the lever away from the wheelchair Nonfolding wheelchairs are usually constructed with sturdy frames that provide high stability and durability These chairs are used for a long time and need to be durable These chairs are also an excellent option for individuals who need wheelchairs that can accommodate massive amounts of weight However the drawback to nonfolding wheelchairs is that they will take up more space in vehicles than folding models This can be a problem for those who dont have access to a vehicle that can fit a wheelchair into its trunk In addition the weight of a nonfolding wheelchair can be a problem for caregivers to lift and carry Folding wheelchairs are an excellent option for those who have to transport chairs frequently They are usually designed with a cross frame that can be collapsed which reduces their size and makes them easy to carry in an automobile They can also be lighter than their nonfolding counterparts and can make them easier for caregivers to lift and move The present invention is a wheelchair that folds vertically with a stop assembly that is resilient The stop assembly consists of a pair of side frame assemblies each mounted rotatably to the upper frame member and each having one steady position on one side of a linkage assemblys centerline The linkage assembly is biased toward the first stable position and is sufficiently resilient to retain the side frame assemblies in the deployed condition until the occupant selectivelymanipulates the linkage assembly Horizontal Folding This wheelchair type folds horizontally when stowed which shortens the platform and makes it easier to put into the vehicle This is the most popular chair of those who have to be mobile and fit into vehicles with low roofs It is also a great option for those with little space in their home or car This unique wheelchair has an extremely light frame that is easy to fold lift and move Its available in several designs including adjustable height armrests and legrests that swing out that can be turned back The upholstery is covered with nylon to resist mold and bacterial growth and side panels that prevent the legs from sliding down into the wheels Advanced wheelchair users can remove their rear wheels from the chair while sitting making it easier to navigate through doorways and other narrow spaces They can also change the tires to ones that are more suited for their new environment or if they plan to take on more outdoor activities The various types of folding for wheelchairs are classified based on the direction of the hinge and the axial surface as well as their degree of tightness Gentle folds open folds closed folds isoclinal folds recumbentfolds overturned Each category has particular purpose and use such as to provide the ability to traction or prevent abrasion Certain wheelchairs are able to tilt which can be beneficial for people with a low sitting ability who are at risk of developing skin ulcers This type of wheelchair is often referred to as a tiltinspace wheelchair and is designed to give the user the most comfort by spreading their weight equally across the seat This type of wheelchair is often used by people with cerebral palsy spinal cord injuries or muscular disorders that make it difficult for them to use their legs Its also a great option for those looking to ease pressure and avoid pressure ulcers It also helps those with dizziness and scoliosis to feel more stable in their chairs To tilt the chair a switch is usually located at the bottom of the chair which is pressed to activate QuickRelease Wheels The quickrelease wheel system reduces the weight and size of a wheelchair once it is dismantled and also permits easy inspection of the wheels or the mounting of new tires The system consists of a small rod referred to as a skewer which is passed through the wheel axle and a camlever which holds the wheels to keep them in place These systems can be operated by pressing the lever with your palm There are two primary types of quick release axles a standard one and a larger diameter version which is threaded in the frame This is known as a throughaxle Before you apply the quick release make sure that the skewer and cam are adjusted correctly The narrow end of the springs must rest against the axle ends and when you tighten the cam it must fit into the recess on the inside face of either the cam or the adjusting nut or it will flex Its easy to check this by spinning the skewer with the adjusting nut off and observing a wedgeshaped gap between the skewers wide side and the axle locknuts internal faces To get the best tension you might have open the lever and press it closed with some effort The lever should be so tight that it leaves a mark on your palm and is sturdy enough to hold the wheel securely Some cheap quickreleases have plastic parts inside the mechanism which reduces the force needed to hold the wheel in place Additionally some skewers are made of lower quality steel which means they could be more susceptible to corrosion The lever should be placed so that it sits in a straight line with the frame and has a curved shape that prevents it from snagging on any object Even though it may appear that the lever is holding the wheels a protruding one indicates that its not fully closed If it is struck by something a protruding wheel lever can become loose To prevent this from happening you must ensure that the lever is secured and shut before every ride Arms Removable There are a variety of arm designs for wheelchairs Some are able to be turned over or completely removed Some of them are adjustable in height to accommodate lap trays while others could support onesided supports for a clerical position Armrest cushions can be with upholstery or constructed from hard plastic or selfskinned composite They are available in many colors including the classic silver vein There are wheelchairs that do not have armrests for those who dont wish to use them They can put their arms on the sides of the chair This can make it easier to sit down at a desk or table Some wheelchair users may find that armrests arent high enough and hinder their independence If youre seated without an armrest the weight of your arms tends to pull your torso forward making you lean forward and have an unnatural slouche The armrests take the weight off your shoulders and arms and let you hold objects or the tray with both hands Some wheelchairs have an armrest that is fixed in height and cannot be removed or flipped up This type of armrest can be used to support a tray or for moving It is often too low to offer adequate arm support and may cause discomfort Some models of wheelchairs come with removable rigging which can be removed when not in use This can help reduce weight of the wheelchair and make it easier to transport and move Certain models have a lighter frame construction and breathable seating material Mag spokes and more sleek rigging Wheelchairs with removable rigging are lighter than their collapsible counterparts They provide the same high quality durability and safety that other mobility devices offer however they have the added benefit of a smaller frame that allows for easier maneuvering in tight spaces and for transportation
