- A Medical Transport Chair That Survives High Usage Abuse
By: Amy Lynn Hart | - There are two major problems with most models of medical transport chair in use in hospitals and other institutions today. The first is that they experience a high degree of theft, due to their nature, which makes them easy to remove from a building without much notice.

The second proble ...

- Wheelchair Manufacturers That Produce The Best Products
By: Amy Lynn Hart | - It's not like there's only one wheelchair company in the world these days. Wheelchair manufacturing has, in fact, become a growth industry. Fortunately, this is not due to a proportionate increase in people in wheelchairs.

The same applies to injuries further up the spina ...

- Hospital Patient Transportation Benefits From Improved It And Design

- Transport Chairs Move People Effectively And Efficiently
By: Amy Lynn Hart | - Quite often, at hospitals, treatment centers, airports, and other places, there is a need to move people by something other than their own power.

- A Medical Wheelchair Has Specific Functions
By: Amy Lynn Hart | - A medical wheelchair does not necessarily perform the same function as a privately owned wheelchair. Therefore, the question arises as to why it should be designed exactly the same way; why in fact, there should be no differentiation in the models, when the traditional form is distinctly inconvenient in the medical field?

- How Wheelchair Equipment Is Vital To The Medical And Retail Industry
By: Amy Lynn Hart | - Whether one is transporting a person from a hospital room to an exam room or lab procedure, through a crowded airport or using a rental wheelchair in a shopping mall, museum or other locale, wheelchair equipment can be just as vital to safe and effective use as the vehicle itself.

By: Amy Lynn Hart | - A wheelchair may not always be an entity unto itself. More often than not, wheelchair accessories are necessary to the effective functioning of the unit, or at least of those persons utilizing it as a means of transport.

- The Current Airport Wheelchair Model Could Be Better
By: Amy Lynn Hart | - Airports are sufficiently difficult to maneuver in without some of the very objects that are intended to ease our progress, actually making it more difficult.

- There Is Much Vital Wheelchair Equipment
By: Amy Lynn Hart | - When Raymond Burr played Detective Ironside in the eponymous show back in the 60s, it was just him, his wheelchair and his faithful assistant. By and large, fictionalized use of wheelchairs in television and movies still follows that rule today. There is virtually no mention or consideration of wheelchair equipment. This makes for easier filming, but leaves people whose primary awareness of this mode of transport, largely ignorant of the accoutrements that may need to be incorporated in even ...

- New Designs Offer Excellent Manual Wheelchair Alternative
By: Amy Lynn Hart | - Design improvements in recent decades have created a new manual wheelchair alternative. So-called "modern" wheelchairs are based almost entirely on a design that dates back to the early 1930s.

One might be tempted to ask, if the design works so well, why fix it?
The fact is, standard wheelchairs, while much better than what was available ...

- Stackable Wheelchair Saves Floor Space
By: Amy Lynn Hart | - By utilizing a stackable wheelchair design, institutions are now able to save valuable floor space, improve traffic flow, and provide a more professional-looking environment. When unfolded, a standard wheelchair takes up as much as 26 inches in width and 32 inches in depth, with bariatric wheelchairs being even larger.

By: Amy Lynn Hart | - Commercial wheelchair rentals are an excellent value-add for public venues such as airports or shopping malls. The convenience of wheelchair rentals provided to patrons, as well as the potential for an added revenue stream, cannot be denied. Unfortunately, traditional wheelchairs, with their folding, x-brace design, are highly prone to theft. Wheelchairs, particularly manual, self-propelled wheelchairs sold by most manufacturers of commercial wheelchairs, can be easily folded and put into the tr ...

- Considerations On Mall Wheelchair Rental
By: Amy Lynn Hart | - The field of mall wheelchair rental is still somewhat in its infancy. Granted, some form of free or rentable transport has been available for some time, but there continue to be severe limitations in both form and number. Some of this is likely due to arguments over who bears responsibility for facilitating the movement of those with mobility issues, but more likely it is due to the substantial cost of such equipment as well as what is surely a high replacement rate due to factors such as vand ...

By: Amy Lynn Hart | - Special needs transportation can be difficult. For the mobility impaired special needs patient, it can be doubly so. The challenges for the caregiver or attendant are equally great. Standard wheelchair design requires that the patient be lifted from the chair onto hospital bed or exam table. Additionally, the attendant is required to bend or hunch into an unnatural and uncomfortable position in order to push the chair. Ergonomic, modern design can solve both problems for the attendant, as well a ...

- A Hospital Wheelchair Should Have Certain Equipment
By: Amy Lynn Hart | - A hospital wheelchair is, not surprisingly, a wheelchair whose primary purpose is the transport of patients within a hospital setting. This is simple enough, but many standard models used in hospitals and other institutional settings lack certain essentials.
The reasons for this are manifold, but essentially come down to issues of cost. Hospitals do not generally have unlimited funds, and therefore have to make decisions about what to buy and how much to spend. Because many s ...

By: Amy Lynn Hart | - As the mobility impaired population grows, wheelchair rentals are an increasing opportunity for generating revenue in public venues.

By: Amy Lynn Hart | - Bariatric wheelchair rental can be a good option for overweight patients who have recently been diagnosed with a mobility-limiting condition. Unlike standard wheelchairs, bariatric wheelchairs are designed for larger frames and higher weight capacities.

- Airport Transport Chair Makes Travel Easier
By: Amy Lynn Hart | - Use of an airport transport chair can make travel smoother and easier for the mobility impaired. For travelers who use a walker, a cane or crutches for mobility, a transport chair is extremely helpful. The distance from curbside to gate, or from gate to gate when changing planes, can be difficult to cover for the mobility impaired. Rather than struggling with carry-on baggage and a walker, the traveler can make use of a transport chair, either as a rental or provided by the airline.

- Stackable Transport Chairs Save Space And Maintenance
By: Amy Lynn Hart | - Stackable transport chairs are the latest innovation in wheelchair design for institutional use. Unlike standard wheelchairs, stackable transport chairs use a non-folding, monolithic frame design which can be nested for storage. Nested storage requires as little as 30% of the space needed for storage of standard transport chairs, leaving doors and hallways clear. Additionally, like luggage carts, stackable transport chairs can be slotted into a coin or credit-card operated mechanism for easy sel ...

- A Transport Wheelchair Designed To Do Just That
By: Amy Lynn Hart | - Wheelchairs serve an excellent and invaluable purpose in the world. They enable people who, due to accident, injury, or illness to be far more independent than they would be without them. However, at the same time, they are often seriously lacking when it comes to serving those who only need to utilize them temporarily. This is where the need for a superficially designed transport wheelchair comes in.

Who, facing a walk through three different terminals at O'Hare, hasn't wished that all the floors were made up of those mobile strips or that they had someone to push them?
The problem is that with the current standard wheelchair model, this growing ...

By: Amy Hart | - Hospitals, airports, care centers, and malls would be wise to invest in a type of transport wheelchair geared strictly for short-term transport of a mobility-impaired individual.
Standard wheelchairs are built to facilitate the independence of those using them. This is as it should be. Aside from getting high school kids to stop doing wheelies in the hall, there is no argument against improved independence and mobility.
Unfortunately, those same vehicles often impede th ...

By: Mike McCoy | - The new attendant-operated transport wheelchair, engineered solely for institutional use, is becoming increasingly popular with hospitals and airports. Institutions are trimming their ground transportation budgets, keeping those who use wheelchairs out of harm's way, and are finding that they rarely have a shortage of transport chairs. All of these things have been significant issues for public facilities that provide wheelchair access.
After decades of spending from 20% to 33% ...

While this old design has allowed those who can't effectively walk a means to get from place to place, there are a number of problems with standard wheelchairs which have not been effectively addressed.

- The Transport Wheelchair Advantage
By: Mike McCoy | - For institutional use, the advantages of the transport wheelchair over the standard self-propelled wheelchairs (which are designed for personal use) are vast when it comes to longevity and cost savings. For instance, the transport chair is designed to be pushed by an attendant and cannot be budged by someone who is sitting in it. This variation on design limits its desirability for theft by someone who could otherwise just sit in a standard wheelchair and push off under their own steam.
