3 Factors to Consider When Buying a Wheelchair by Eddie Amoakuh

With a variety of products available in today’s wheelchair market, it is imperative to know exactly what you’re looking for in a wheelchair as well as how to approach finding the wheelchair that will be most suitable for your needs. There are a variety of cheap wheelchair options to consider, which can initially be attractive, but can also make your purchasing process a bit more challenging. From patients that are prescribed wheelchairs by appropriate medical authorities to people that may need a wheelchair for elderly or disabled visitors, there are a plethora of standard, transport, rigid, folding, and custom wheelchair options to consider. Finding the right wheelchair will afford disabled individuals the opportunity for independence as well as a better quality of life.

Financial Aspect

The first thing to consider, as with investing in any potential life-changing alternative, is the financial aspect. Will your insurance cover part of your wheelchair costs? If so, which parts or functions of your wheelchair will fall under their policies? Are there local wheelchair vendors that can help you to do some comparison-shopping in order to find the product that will be right for you? Will the particular vendor be able to make house calls for repairs and general mechanical questions, or will you be responsible for transporting yourself to an external location? Ensuring that you’ll be properly covered and assisted in your wheelchair search is a critical step in this process.

Wheelchair Types

In order to seek the chair that is right for you, it is important to define your wheelchair uses and needs. The user or a companion typically manually operates standard wheelchairs. These chairs boast large back wheels for ease of manipulation and optimal mobility by the user. Conversely, transport wheelchairs boast four smaller wheels and must be operated by a companion. In addition to manual wheelchairs, there are many electric wheelchair options available. Electric wheelchairs are most suitable for people that need to spend most of their time in the chair. They are typically much more expensive than manual chairs and are often designed solely for indoor use.

Wheelchair Measurements and Capacities

Determining the appropriate size and weight requirements for your wheelchair will ensure that your device boasts extreme comfort and robust functionality. The weight of your wheelchair may depend on the ultimate use of it. Lighter wheelchairs will obviously be easier for users to push uphill or through challenging terrain while they’ll also be simpler to manage for companions when packing and lifting. In addition to wheelchair weight, you must also consider weight capacity. Standard chairs tend to hold up to 250 pounds. Heavier weights will typically require customized or bariatric chairs. When determining your seat size, be sure to account for situations in which you may need extra space. In the colder months, bulkier clothes will require more room †adding a few extra inches to the width of your torso should help to effectively determine your needs.

While these are only a few points to consider when purchasing a wheelchair, they will provide a solid foundation for initiating your search. You may also be interested in additional functions and features for your wheelchair. Weighing arm rests, seat height, mobility options and much more will also play a part in determining which chair is right for you. The important thing is to ensure that you can clearly envision the type of wheelchair that will be most suitable and accommodating for your personal needs.
