- 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. After all, if the accessories and attendant aspects do not work, the chair itself can rapidly become a very unpleasant prospect.
There was a time when someone with mild, moderate, or severe mobility imp ...

- Wheelchair Accessories Make Wheelchair Transport Easier
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.
Not all wheelchairs require anything but the chair, occupant and attendant. These are the units used to help a healed patient exit the hospital or the person who is generally healthy, but cannot easily walk the length of several airport terminals and make the tri ...

- 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. A case in point is the current model of the airport wheelchair, which imposes significant difficulties on both user and operator.
One of the biggest problems for the person tasked with pushing the airport wheelchair from one location to another, in order to help the mobility impaired passenger, is actually finding the chair ...

- 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. Other than updates to materials, the standard wheelchair would still be recognizable to doctors and nurses from the era of the Great Depression. 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. With added accessories such as extended foot rests, the space required to store standard wheelchairs can be even greater. Large and cumbersome, standard wheelchairs not only take ...

- Manual Wheelchair Alternative Ideal For Elder Care Facilities
By: Amy Lynn Hart | - Mobility assistance for visitors to elder care facilities can be difficult. Many visitors are elderly themselves, although they may not be wheelchair-bound. Luckily, there is now a manual wheelchair alternative which is ideal for visitors, both in terms of ease of use and space and cost savings for the facility.
Manual, self-propelled wheelchairs and standard attended wheelchairs can be difficult for elderly visitors to use. Providing a space-saving, ergonomic alternative which ca ...

- Theft Resistance Key For Commercial Wheelchair Rentals
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 ...

- 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 ...

- Wheelchair Rentals Are A New Opportunity For Revenue
By: Amy Lynn Hart | - As the mobility impaired population grows, wheelchair rentals are an increasing opportunity for generating revenue in public venues. Populations in developed nations are rapidly aging, and along with an older population, issues with mobility are also growing. Frequently, older adults require the use of walkers, crutches or a cane for mobility. Providing an easy to use, affordable means of transport in public venues such as shopping malls represents a new possibility for improving public access a ...

- Bariatric Wheelchair Rental An Ideal Option
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. Standard wheelchairs are generally made of chrome and nylon or vinyl, materials which are not strong enough to sustain a morbidly obese patient. Instead of using standard materials, a bariatric wheelchair is built of high-strength steel to sustai ...

- An Airport Wheelchair Needs To Be Convenient For All
By: Amy Hart | - For those with mobility issues, the need for an airport wheelchair is even more pressing. There is no arguing the fact that many of the millions of people passing through airports on a daily basis need some assistance with their mobility. 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 ...

- A Transport Wheelchair Should Be Built For Just That
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: Amy Hart | - These days almost no one has to ask what a wheelchair is. That is both good and bad. It is bad, of course, because this means that there are still far too many people in the world with moderate to debilitating mobility issues. It is good because without wheelchairs, the quality of life of persons who have such issues would be severely limited.

- A Hospital Wheelchair Should Make Movement Easier For Everyone
By: Amy Hart | - A hospital wheelchair is as much a legal necessity as a physical requirement. This will help make sure that a patient doesn't come in for one thing and leave with a broken leg to boot. Often even people without mobility issues are required to be transported in and out of the building and to tests, exams, and other procedures in a wheelchair.
While this can feel a little ridiculous for the person involved and be time-consuming for hospital personnel, there are nonetheless, valid ...

- How A Transport Wheelchair Addresses Public Access Issues
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.

- Beyond The Standard Wheelchair
By: Mike McCoy | - Since 1932, the standard folding, self-propelled wheelchair designed for home use has seen few changes.
When individuals require something unique to fit their individual disability or sport it is usually a one-of-a-kind, made-to-order wheelchair. Since there have been few changes to what is standard since the early patent was established, specs for the chair are based on the size, height and weights of people from another era. The handles are too low for most people over 5'4" ...

- 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.
